Madison Price's plans have fallen to ashes.

Instead of working in an Oregon library, she's back in Walker Beach, California-a town full of painful memories-running her late aunt's hardware store and falling for the gorgeous bad boy from high school. Again.

Yes, the same jerk who made Madison's high school days a living nightmare. The one who, somehow, doesn't remember her. But if the sparks flying between them are any indication, this time he will.

For the first time in his life, assistant community developer Evan Walsh is on the straight and narrow. He's up for a promotion and helping Walker Beach recover from an economic downturn. But doing the right thing for the town might mean putting the woman he loves out of business.

Evan's in trouble-in more ways than one. And though Trouble used to be his middle name, this time there's no easy escape.
