Everyone longs for a place to be loved and accepted, warts and all. And Coldwater Cove has its share of warts! But while this cozy corner of the world is home to just about anyone who wants to put down roots, the way has been barred to Michael Evans.
Mike's dad saw to that some ten years ago when he ordered him to leave town and never come back. But when Michael learns his mother is battling breast cancer, not even the animosity between him and his father can keep him away. Of course he didn't figure on getting roped into being best man at his sister's upcoming wedding, but as long as Michael's back in town, he figures he's got a second chance with the girl who got away—Heather Walker.
Long-legged Heather has had a love/hate relationship with the town bad boy ever since he christened her "Stilts" in middle school. She was voted most likely to succeed. Michael seemed destined for the state pen. Even so, she hopes there's more to him than leathers and a Harley, for his family's sake if nothing else. But while her fascination with him grows, a decade-old secret involving a member of her family threatens to tear them apart...
"Readers of sweet romance will fall in love with Coldwater Cove. Lexi Eddings's talent shines in this edgy, fresh story." —Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author

Eddings’s second Coldwater contemporary (after The Coldwater Warm Hearts Club) is a sweet and gently suspenseful romance centering around a hero who’s trying to win the heart of the woman he loves without betraying a promise. Michael Evans returns to Coldwater Cove, Okla., for his mother’s cancer surgery and his sister’s wedding. Ten years before, Mike left without a backward glance, guarding a secret about the death of young Jessica Walker. Now that he’s back, he’s once again drawn to Heather, Jessica’s sister. Heather is a compassionate nurse who loves her hometown and has worked hard to escape the shadow of Jessica’s death. As the budding relationship between Heather and Mike waxes and wanes, the past keeps intruding, as Jessica’s self-promoting ex-boyfriend pursues Heather and her parents, and a wannabe film producer seeks pay dirt by looking into Mike’s past. When Heather learns that Mike was there when her sister died, the couple’s happy ending hangs on uncovering the whole truth. The secondary characters are particularly memorable. Fans and newcomers alike will enjoy this well-rounded story. Agent: Natasha Kern, Natasha Kern Literary.
