Ten years ago, Nate stole her heart… then shattered it. Now, Malila Vasquez is staring into his blue eyes once more. Could this be a second chance—or another heartbreak?
 
Lila’s long-awaited dream has finally come true. As the curator of the San Francisco Institution of Art, she’s launching a groundbreaking Native American exhibit that honors her Navajo heritage—and for the first time, three of her own paintings will be on display. This is the moment she’s worked toward for years.
 
But just as her career is about to soar, a phone call changes everything.
Her former college roommate, Victoria Rodman—now a wealthy socialite—is dying. She begs Lila to come to her side across the country. Torn between loyalty and ambition, Lila is faced with an impossible decision: follow through on her biggest professional opportunity, or help a friend in need.
 
Going back means facing the past… and the man she’s never been able to forget—Joseph Neal Rodman III, Victoria’s brother.
 
Is Lila strong enough to confront old wounds, or will seeing Nate again reopen them? And can she live with herself if she doesn’t go?
 
For her friend’s sake—if for no other reason—she must.
