Holt missed his chance in high school, but he's always thought about untouchable Lila, and wants to show he's the man for her in this steamy, second chance, small town romance.
Seven years ago, Lila and her husband fell out of love and divorced. She thought finding love again would be fun, easy even. Instead, she's found lots of unmotivated men. It's been a rude awakening to say the least. After watching five of her single friends meet great men, she's wondering what's wrong with her. Now that her son is in college, it's time for her to get serious about meeting someone.
She never thought a late night stop at a gas station would make her take a second look at someone she never paid attention to in high school.
Holt's job as a traveling superintendent never allows him to stay in one place for long. After his last girlfriend left because she said he was married to his job, and she needed more, he gave up on finding true love. One-night stands and lonely nights at home is the price he has to pay for a career he loves.
Until he sees Lila, his high school crush, one night after grabbing a suspicious sandwich from the only place that's open in his small Maine town. She was out of his league then, and she still is.
Will Holt finally have the nerve to talk to a woman he's always thought about? Or will he clam up just like he did in school? What he chooses next can change both of their lives forever.
Fans of Hope Ford and Mia Brody will eat up this delicious small town, instant love story.
