A runaway bride. Her hometown’s reformed bad boy. And the path to finding herself again.

The last person I want to see on my wedding day is the boy tied to my painful past. Especially now that he’s all man, and a cruel reminder of what I left behind.

But after my groom shatters my world and I run away, Beck offers me an escape route. A trip down memory lane. And his family home until I get my footing back.

Soon we’re sharing rebound kisses under the Christmas tree and making new snow-covered memories in Emerald Creek. Beck helps me remember the girl I used to be and makes me proud of who I became.

What rattles me most is how he’s finding a place in my heart.

When it’s time to go back to the life I built thousands of miles away, will he still feel like a rebound?

Or am I now running away from the best thing that’s ever happened to me?
