Roxie
Nate Boone. My brother’s best friend and the country boy I had a serious crush on all those years ago when were both just kids. A lot has happened since then but a part of me never really moved on. Who am I kidding, all of me never moved on.

And now I’m heading back to Sugar Mountain to see my bestie—Nate’s little sister—and to catch up with the extended Boone family, who have always felt like my own.

What I find is that Nate Boone is allll grown up, hotter than the Tennessee sun, and maybe not quite as forbidden as he used to be…

Nate
Roxie Tucker. No one knows about our history and our connection because I walked away and never looked back. Because she was a hundred percent off-limits.

I haven’t seen her in years, until she shows up out of the blue, so beautiful it hurts. And I now know why I could never fall in love or even think about committing to anyone else. Because they’re not her.

I shouldn’t, of course. She’s family. And my life is beyond complicated.

But she’s too perfect and the pull is too strong. She breathes life back into me and gives me a taste of something so real I simply can’t resist. I want her. I want everything. She's mine.

So I kiss her again. She’s heaven on earth and I’m a hundred percent addicted. I'm drowning in this girl. I can't find my way up for air and I don’t want to. I’m too far gone to walk away.

Now that I've had a taste of forever, I’ll risk whatever it takes to keep her...
