A trip home causes a heartbroken actress to rethink everything she knows about love in this enchanting romance from the author of Chasing Kaylee Kringle.

After a highly publicized and very messy breakup, rom-com queen Haley Belle needs a hiatus from love. She hopes her hometown of Holiday, Idaho, will provide the safe haven she needs to finish the memoir that could repair her battered reputation. But instead of peace and quiet, she finds herself distracted by two unignorable obstacles: the upcoming Founder's Day matchmaking celebration and the very grumpy owner of her rental apartment.

Bookstore owner Colin Mayers never forgot the childhood friend who left town with a piece of his heart. Seeing Haley on the big screen was bad enough, but now she's up close and personal, staying in his basement. He's trying his best to keep his distance, but when she asks for help editing her book, he can't bring himself to say no. And as the two spend time together, revisiting past memories, their connection begins to blossom into something more.

Both Haley and Colin are scared to open themselves up again. But with a determined town matchmaker playing Cupid, meddling friends refusing to mind their own business, estranged family members opening up old wounds, and a mischievous black kitten wreaking havoc at every turn, they might just discover that some love stories are worth a second take.

Tropes include: small-town romance, second-chance romance, childhood friends to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, and found family.
