Davis Thompson had never been so happy or so in love as she was with Kevin Lowes. Until his relapse shattered their world. After finding him at his lowest, in a moment that will haunt her forever, sheās convinced heād not only chosen drugs over her. But heād chosen another woman too. Now sheās trying to rebuild her life, wanting desperately to move on and figure out who she is and what she wants without him. Thereās only one problem: Kev is returning to Bluebird Basin.
After a brutal rebab stay, Kev is determined to recommit to his recovery and win back the only woman heās ever loved. But when he realizes the depth of the pain he caused and the secrets Davis has kept to protect him from himself, he wonders if itās too late. More broken than heās ever been, Kev finds unexpected healing while working with a wild mustang whose invisible scars match his.
But Bluebird Basin is a small ski hill, and as Kev and Davis continually cross paths, old wounds reopen and sparks reignite. Davis doesnāt know if she can trust Kev again. And Kev must confront his darkest fears and deepest regrets if he wants to prove to her that a second chance with him is worth fighting for.

The story centers on Emma and Finn, high school friends and debate partners whose relationship slowly blossomed […]
