Publisher's Synopsis
After her boss (and former boyfriend) sabotages her career, Casey Hudson returns to her small mountain hometown of Paineville to open a craft store with her cousin. She swears no man will influence her business or personal life again. But when her teenage crush Ty Banner-hard-hearted and unwilling to take a second chance at love-walks back into her life, Casey's resolve begins to waver.
Ty has dealt with rejection and heartbreak his whole life, first at the hands of his distant mother, and most recently when his gold-digging fiancée left him for his business partner. This makes him wary of trusting his heart to anyone again, even to someone like Casey.
As Casey's feelings for Ty deepen, her heart asks questions her brain can't answer. Can the youthful crush she once treasured grow into a meaningful relationship? Will Ty's untrusting nature thwart their future together? Casey helps Ty overcome his past, hoping he'll fall in love with the future-a future that includes her lasting love.
