When a Hollywood heartthrob rolls into her small town to film a movie, the last thing Presley needs is the distraction—especially after being publicly humiliated by her ex-fiancé at the altar. But Shaw Valance has other ideas, showing up at the garage where she works and turning her carefully rebuilt, quiet life upside down with his charming persistence and those irritatingly perfect smiles. Just when she's starting to let her guard down, her ex returns with secrets that could shatter everything she and Shaw are building together. This is a swoon-worthy small-town romance about second chances, finding your footing again, and discovering that sometimes the person who turns your world upside down is exactly who you needed all along.
