The first time I saw her, I knew she was the one. Then she broke my nose. She started a war, one that would last through our childhood. After years of being gone, I’m home for good this time. If that isn’t bad enough, guess who I find bent over a filing cabinet, looking better than I remember? Everything in me tells me to run. But I’m a glutton for punishment. How can I convince her I’m worth a second look if she sneers whenever she sees me? But I’m not the same boy she thought she knew. He was my nemesis, but also my childhood crush. He threw shade, I ignored him. He irritated me, I retaliated. It was a childhood war for the ages. But that’s all about to change. Now we’re all grown up and back in the small town where it all began. He’s always been the most beautiful boy I’ve ever known. He’s just as stunning as a man. His attitude though? I can still do without it. We might be able to build something, if he’d just keep his mouth closed. Can I learn to get along with the boy from down the street? Only if he learns to play nice.

We have unfinished business. I owe him a debt. And there's only one way to repay it. They say your forties are the new twenties. Maybe that would be true if my ex-husband hadn’t turned out to be a lying, cheating, stealing ass who left me with nothing except my pride. And it’s that pride that should keep me from accepting Phillip Conrad’s sexy, sinful, and way too indecent proposal to pay off the debt I owe him. I should walk away. I should slap him. Hell, I should tell him exactly where he can shove his offer. But I can't. Because Phillip and I have unfinished business and it’s long past time to see if that spark between us has the potential to become a full-fledged inferno. Besides, if forty is the new twenty, and a second chance is really on the table, then maybe it’s not too late for some excitement. The sexier the better. And if I’m really lucky? Maybe I’ll get my happy ending after all. Author's note: A second chance with your billionaire, first love, romance that proves it's never too late for a happily ever after—especially one complete with lots of long overdue spicy sex.

My life is over. I swore I would never work at the whiskey distillery with my last name on it, that I would never be a part of my father's legacy. But when I graduated with my art degree and realized there were no jobs, the devil appeared, and I sold my soul, agreeing to work in the family business if he'd give me the art studio I'd always dreamed of. It can't be that bad, I thought. Until I realized my new boss was Logan Becker. The Becker brothers have a reputation for being trouble, and since I love trouble, it's no surprise to me that I'm infatuated by that forbidden fruit the first day I walk into the distillery. That lean, whiskey-eyed, too-hot-for-his-own-good man hates me - and I can't blame him. His family has been at war with mine for decades, and for good reason. The Beckers and the Scooters are the Montagues and Capulets of Stratford, Tennessee. But if he's Romeo, and I'm Juliet? Well... we all know how that story ends - and for that reason, I tell myself to steer clear. Because if my father finds out I'm falling for Logan Becker, my life actually will be over. And Logan's will be, too.
