What happens when you find out your life was purposefully altered at eighteen to protect an a$$hat?

Jessica and Hope are coming home to Big Verde, Texas for the first time in 12 years for Hope's Grandma Mavis' funeral and to correct a situation that's been allowed to slip too far out of Jessica's control.

When Casey stops an out of town driver driving a flame red Porsche for running a red light in the center of town, he never could have imagined he would run into the girl who abandoned him after the best night of his life.


Did Casey ignore Jessica's letters on purpose? Was he embarrassed by her mothers immigration status, or was he just trying, as her mother said, to get into her pants the nights before they fled Big Verde with Casey's cousin Wade, the now former sheriff, threatening Jessica's mother as they ran?

Did Jessica never intend to actually go to school with Casey, make plans for forever with him, was she always just trying to get away from Big Verde? Does she know she broke his heart, does he know he broke hers?

A sweet, dark story that shows what family's will do to keep people apart, and hide stories (and people) that don't fit the narrative they want the world to see. Carly Bloom has given me a 5⭐, small town, romance full of the best places and ways to escape, and I can't WAIT to see what Casey and Jessica do next!
