She fell for him, but she is dating his brother. Despite their best efforts, Cooper and Katie can’t seem to avoid running into each other or ignore their chemistry. Katie shares with him secrets from her past and the real reason she moved to their small North Carolina town, and she wins over his welcoming, big-hearted family. But soon, the stakes of their emotional connection become unimaginably high. Katie stands to lose the first family she’s ever had, and a scandal could doom Cooper’s campaign for sheriff. Suddenly they find themselves on the edge of another precipice—and are forced to make a decision that could change their lives forever.
