  Leighton Bergemont never planned to return to Ohio. That part of her life was over; that version of her was long gone. The death of her parents, however, threw her into a pit of despair that the dream job she’d worked so hard to attain couldn’t pull her from. Unable to watch the descent, Leighton’s best friend convinced her to pack up her life and move back to Columbus, home to her alma mater.

Living in her dream home, next door to her best friend and nieces, should be enough to make her happy. She wasn’t expecting that fresh start to include someone like Gavin Norwood.

Though it had been two decades since Gavin graduated from college, he never left Columbus. He’d put down roots and was building a perfect life. At least, that was the plan until his long-term relationship ended five years ago. Despite the loss, he managed to focus on the positives—his college friends, his younger sister just up the road, and his dream career. The only thing missing was someone to share his life with.

A Valentine’s Day singles party changes everything when he meets Leighton Bergemont, the woman who makes him want to risk it all for another chance at love.

It’s been years since they both walked The Ohio State University campus, never crossing paths, but perhaps fate had been waiting for the perfect time to bring them together. Maybe now is when they find love anyway.
