He spent ten years in witness protection.

Now he's spending every second trying to woo the woman he hurt.

In high school, Maggie had one rule for our secret relationship-we couldn't acknowledge each other in public. But every night, we'd meet at her family's pond, where we'd talk and laugh and flirt.

Until I made a horrible mistake.

Over a decade later, I'm back in my hometown and some things haven't changed. Maggie's still infuriating and confusing, and absolutely stunning. Our chemistry is also still hotter than a four-alarm fire, and she's intent on denying it.

I don't blame her. The last night we saw each other I broke her trust, then I vanished into witness protection for ten years.

But there's something else going on with her.

I recognize a secret when I see one, and her friends say she doesn't do commitment. If I can get her to forgive me and open up, maybe she'll break her rules and give us a second chance. Or she'll light my heart on fire and dance around the flames...

WARNING: Only read this book if you love small-town romances full of laughs and swoons, a determined man who falls first, obnoxious brothers, and wacky town festivals. There also might be a steamy scene or three.
