Sterling Brick (Sterling Falls Book 2)

When high school sweethearts reunite in their small town after twenty years, love wasn't part of the plan. A former military man who never forgot the girl he left behind is determined to rebuild their relationship brick by brick and heart by heart. Locked in the men's restroom during her mother's funeral, the narrator unexpectedly encounters Knox Sylver, her high school sweetheart—the one who got away and broke her heart. He's no longer a teenage boy but a broad-shouldered man whose eyes still make her feel like the only person in the room. As a newly divorced mother of two teenagers, she hasn't felt truly seen in a long time. Knox is watching. He made choices in the past that didn't include her, but he calls that ancient history. Having returned to their small hometown after a military career, Knox is now a local fireman and wants to rekindle what they once had. He's determined to prove he's solid and stable. This time, the decision is hers: stay where memories hurt, or leave her past—and Knox—behind again.
