A big-city attorney trying to solve a cold case that’s haunted him for years. Unfortunately, his search leads him to the same small town where the first woman who jilted him lives. And the second woman who jilted him…

Chandler Coben’s love life is like a sad country song on repeat:

• Boy meets the girl.
• Boy gets the girl.
• Boy loses the girl.

He blames his twice broken heart on his high-powered career — all the client appointments that run overtime and the endless hours he spends in the courtroom. Oh, and the fact that his uncle tried to frame him for a crime he didn’t commit in the attempt to steal the company of the last woman he was dating. Yeah, that didn’t exactly fan the flames of romance.

Though Chandler has zero interest in reopening old wounds, he always follows the clues where they lead. And right now, they’re leading to the doorstep of his first love, the same woman he promised would never hear from him again unless she specifically asked.

Imagine his surprise when his phone rings in the middle of the night, and it’s her.
