"From the bestselling author of Funny You Should Ask comes an inspiring romance novel about honouring the past, living in the present, and loving for the future. Can you really find a once-in-a-lifetime love . . . twice? In her small Montana hometown, Lauren Parker has assumed a few different roles: teenage hellraiser; sister of superstar Gabe Parker; and most recently, tragically widowed single mother. She s never cared much about labels or what people thought about her, but dealing with her grief has slowly revealed that she s become adrift in her own life. Then she meets the devilishly handsome actor Ben Walsh on the set of her brother s new movie. They have instant chemistry, and Lauren realizes that it has been far too long since someone has really and truly seen her. Her rebellious spirit spurs her to dive headfirst into her desire, but when a sexy encounter becomes something more, Lauren finds herself balancing old roles and new possibilities.
