He was supposed to be her enemy. She didn't mean to fall for him.

Miranda George feels stuck in the small mountain town of Kings Grove - a town that reminds her of embarrassing moment she’s had - and there are a lot. Living with her parents and working at a diner wasn’t exactly how she saw her life going. Despite her life’s imperfections, the one thing she looks forward to is Chance Palmer. Tall, dark, and handsome, she’s convinced he’s the man for her - even if he seems to come in a package deal with Sam, his younger brother and the instigator of most of her embarrassing moments. 

Sam Palmer is ready to get out of his brother’s shadow. He’s ready to stop being known as simply “Chance Palmer’s younger brother” - especially when it comes to Miranda George. Brokenhearted from senior year, Sam still can’t seem to find the words to tell her the truth about the incident or his feelings, even five years later. And with her love for his older brother so plainly written across her face, he can’t help but feel that the truth wouldn’t matter anyway. 

When Chance hires Miranda to work for their construction company, Miranda and Sam both put up walls to protect their hearts, but they slowly learn that everything they thought they knew about each other is wrong. When a backcountry wildfire threatens everything and everyone they love, Miranda and Sam must decide if they can look beyond their complicated past and see a future together, or choose to protect their hearts, and possibly end up alone.
