Welcome to Buckeye Falls, where second chances mend broken
hearts for these childhood sweethearts. Wedding bells are ringing,
but the sister of the groom is conflicted.

.

Fifteen years ago,
Mallory Lawson “married” her childhood sweetheart, Beckett, in a
pretend wedding on his family’s apple farm. She treasures not only
the memories, but the ring he put on her finger. The trouble now, her
brother, Evan, wants to put that family heirloom on his fiancée’s
finger. Mallory adores CeCe, but she struggles to get past her
girlhood fantasies of Beckett swooping back into her life with a
certain ruby ring…

.

Beckett Fox is at a
crossroads. After losing his grandfather, he’s listless and fearful
of coming back to the family farm. There are too many memories, and
most of them are tied to the love of his life, Mallory. He doesn’t
even know if she remembers that fateful day when they were kids,
playing make- believe under the apple trees, but he does. Now he’s
back to help his buddy get married, and he hopes to find peace on the
family farm, with Mallory by his side…

.

When the wedding
planning kicks into high gear, Beckett and Mallory are thrust
together as maid of honor and best man. The more time they spend
together, the harder it is to ignore the sparks between them. Beckett
fears Evan won’t support him dating Mallory, so the pair date in
secret. But true love won’t stay hidden forever…

How was Beckett so calm right now? Not only was the world ending outside, but they were

casually eating like they hadn’t just made out like teenagers. God, that kiss. It was hungry and filled

with years of tension and longing. That couldn’t all have been one-sided, right? He instigated, so

clearly he was into her.

Didn’t he feel this? Was that kiss the result of too much pain meds and the adrenaline of the day?

Why wasn’t he spiraling down the rabbit hole like she was? Pulling her briefly from her musings, she

felt the warmth of his hand in hers.

Beckett held her hand as he shoveled his second helping of chili fries into his mouth. His thumb

gently caressed over her knuckles while he ate like he had been on a deserted island for centuries.

And to think, just ten minutes before he was devouring her like that.

She watched him, willing him to say something perfect, something romantic to prove he felt this

connection between them. Instead, he turned to her and asked, “Are you going to eat that ranch

dressing?”

Mallory couldn’t help it, she burst out laughing. The last weeks’ worth of muddled emotions

spilled out of her in hysterical laughter. Beckett’s grasp on her hand loosened and she pulled free to

dab at her eyes with a crumpled napkin.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, clearly alarmed by her outburst. His mouth hung open so wide, she

could have shoved the entire bottle of ranch dressing inside.

Mallory propelled the chair back with a clatter, striding to the sink for a glass of cold water. After

chugging half the contents in one go, she let out a long exhale and leaned back on the counter. Once

again, he asked, “What’s wrong, Mal?”
