Gianna Maffucci has everything she ever dreamed of-an exciting career in engineering, great friends, a wonderful family, and a future that's right on track. But when she runs into Hunter Hall again, the person responsible for unlocking a passion that has shaped her whole life, her perfectly ordered world tilts. A spark is there...but so is the ice in his eyes and his reaction stings more than she expects.

Cold and distant, Hunter barely acknowledges their past, and keeps her at a distance. He has spent years guarding his heart-and avoiding Gianna. Misled by gossip and burned by his own insecurities, he convinced himself she wasn't the girl he thought she was. But seeing her again, all grown up and even more captivating, those past misunderstandings unravel and he realizes how wrong he might have been.

As they rebuild their friendship, proximity forces the truth-and buried feelings-to rise. But trust isn't easily rebuilt, and they both must decide if love is worth the risk.
