Their relationship has been doomed from the beginning. But doom has never felt this good. Veronica is too hard for Dale to resist. But if his best friend--Veronica's brother--finds out that Dale was her first, he's going to have to run for his life. Truth is, Veronica only seems to want Dale for one thing--and his heart can't take it anymore. So this time, no hook-ups. No sneaking around. No more games. Every time Veronica sets foot in Texas, she's reminded that big dreams don't fit in small towns. That's why she can't anchor herself to someone like Dale, no matter how good their secret nights are or how deep their feelings run. Besides, no amount of history can stop the mistakes they keep repeating. And sometimes you don't know what you have--until someone else walks down the aisle with him. The logical thing would be for Dale and Veronica to move on. But when Fate forces them back together, their old chemistry roars back to life, asking one question: Are their differences still bigger than their unreasonable attraction?
