Release Date: July 7
Buried secrets never stay hidden in the South.
Emily
I fell in love with him when I was fourteen. Under the stars, he told me he loved me, and under the stars we promised to love each other always. But under the stars, he broke my heart by walking away.
He left me without a second glance. I was just an afterthought.
Now he's back, but this time, I'm not falling for his Southern charm.
Maybe.
It’s time I get my happily ever after, even if part of me wishes he was still mine.

Ethan
I found out on my twenty-first birthday that everything I thought I knew was a lie, and the man I had grown up thinking was my father wasn't.
The pain I felt blinded me, making it impossible to hear what anyone said.
I left them all behind, including her, my best friend and the woman I was going to marry.
Five years later, I'm back, only to find the woman I still love has another man's ring on her finger.
She’s going to marry my best friend unless I stop her. And this time, I only have until sunrise to change her mind.
MY REVIEW
When Ethan ghosted everyone who loved him 5 years ago, Emily somehow found the strength to move on. And then Ethan came waltzing back into town expecting a second chance. Emily knows her heart cannot take being ripped apart again, so she vehemently denies all his attempts at talking. And besides, she's engaged now, so there's not a chance she's letting Ethan talk his way back into her heart. Except...he never left her heart, and she knows it. What choice will she make? A second chance? Or ghost Ethan the way he ghosted her?
Damn, this was one angsty, cry your eyes out kind of story. There was so much anger, and sadness, and disappointment roiling around in everyone's hearts. And I just wanted to smack Ethan for hurting everyone. Yes, I felt for him, but come on, family isn't only blood, it's who raised you, who loves you, not whose blood happens to run in your veins. I was not Team Ethan, even by the end, it's why 4 instead of 5 stars. I just felt he acted like a whiny child throwing a tantrum when he left everyone, and that when he came home, everyone got past it way too quickly. Aside from Ethan, though, I liked this story. Emily is strong and a total sweetheart, and Ethan's family is awesome, especially poor Jacob, whose grief and disappointment was felt the most keenly by me.
Meet Natasha Madison
When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...Connect with Natasha Madison
