Sterling Brick (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956337365)

Love wasn't part of the blueprint when high school sweethearts reunite in their small town. But this former military man never forgot the girl he left behind and he's more determined than ever to rebuild their relationship brick by brick and heart by heart.

Getting locked in the men's restroom during my mother's funeral wasn't exactly how I expected to run into my high school sweetheart. The one who got away. The one who broke my heart.

I could toss the busted doorknob in my hand at him, but I'd prefer to get the heck away. Because twenty years later, Knox Sylver isn't a teenage boy anymore but a broad-shouldered, thick scruff man with eyes that still look at me like I'm the only person in the room.

As a newly divorced mother of two teenagers, it's been a long time since anyone sees me. And Knox is definitely watching.

Unfortunately, he made choices in the past and I wasn't one of them.

According to him, that is ancient history.

Also, according to him, it's never too late for a second chance. He's out to prove he's solid and stable, having returned to our small hometown, in a better place after a career in the military. He's a local hero as a fireman and he wants to rekindle the flame between us.

I'm the one with decisions this round.

Do I stay where memories hurt? Or do I leave my past, and Knox, behind me again?
