When Cal spots someone who looks identical to his childhood crush across a coffee shop, he can't believe his luck—except she's a complete stranger named Nyelle Preston, and she's nothing like the shy girl he remembers. Nyelle is wild, passionate, and utterly captivating, pulling Cal into a whirlwind of spontaneity that leaves him breathless and completely smitten. But as their connection deepens, Cal discovers she's hiding something big, and he finds himself torn between wanting answers and being terrified of what he might uncover. This is a delicious second-chance-at-a-first-meeting story full of mystery, chemistry, and the kind of secrets that could change everything.
