Lake Starlight Series

For Rylan Greene and me, it was simple. Love only got us so far.

I’ve known him since we were six, long before he became the professional soccer star he is now. We’ve weaved in and out of one another’s lives as rivals, teammates, friends, and lovers. Until three years ago, when my life took a hit, and I ran back to my small Alaskan town, Lake Starlight, away from anything or anyone that could hurt me.

He’s never far from my mind, a constant pining ache in my heart, but I’ve convinced myself I’m better off. But now, my best friend announces her engagement, and that means Rylan will return home to stand as best man to her fiancé.

He’ll be back in my orbit for three whole weeks, but I can easily keep my distance. Sure, we’ll have to walk arm in arm down the aisle together, hold me close during the bridal party dance, and we’ll stand for pictures next to each other. Nothing I can’t handle.

I’m so naïve though, because he’s not in town for more than 24 hours before he knocks on my door. I should know by now that the two of us will never be finished business.

This second-chance romance spans 16 years of a true love match that proves these two will only ever belong to one another.
