Summary

WHEN FEELINGS DON’T STAY IN THE PAST. — TATUM I’m twenty-seven, newly engaged, and weeks away from taking the bar exam. My life is going exactly the way it’s supposed to, so when my best friend convinces me to spend a week at her family’s lake house, I tell myself it’s a necessary break from hitting the books. That is… until I find out my best friend’s older brother is going, too. Miles Bennet is my first crush, and he’s also the one person I swore I’d never face again. He was supposed to be nothing more than a memory, a heartbreak I packed away, and a summer I left behind. He was supposed to stay in the past, but the truth is, I’ve never really left it. — MILES Tatum Collins was a part of my childhood, and a mistake I’ve never forgiven myself for. I’ve managed to keep myself busy these last ten years coaching baseball, and truthfully, I never thought I’d see Tatum again—but thanks to my sister, we’re forced back together. Only this time she’s older, devastatingly beautiful, and wearing another man’s ring. I tell myself I’ll keep my distance. That whatever happened back then is over, that she’s happy now, that I have no right to want anything from her. But the lake remembers everything, and unfortunately, so do I.
