Passing Notes

When the one who got away moves in next door...

Clara Hill wants to be left alone.

Sitting on her porch watching everyone else's lives go by is way more fun than dealing with her own problems.

Or at least that's what she thought.

Now that her secret high school sweetheart is her next door neighbor, she's not so sure anymore.

Being back in Green Valley was hard enough without having her first love right there within touching distance.

Especially when he's so stubbornly determined to flash his unforgettable smile at her every chance he gets and reminding her of when she thought she'd found her happily ever after.

Once upon a time, Nick Easton thought he had it all.

A football scholarship, his dream girl, and a future so bright he couldn't wait to get started.

But, like everything else in his life, it all came toppling down.

Now he's content to raise his kids, teach English, and coach football at Green Valley High.

He has no time for things like romance, and dating, and starting over...

He's fine being alone.

Who needs love?

But when he catches a glimpse of his new neighbor his quiet little world turns upside down, lighting a fire that makes him determined to reclaim all he thought was gone forever.

After all these years, can he convince Clara to give him another shot?

Or will their love story stay hidden in their past?
