Huxley McKenna believes that his past will haunt him forever. At just eighteen, his life irrevocably changed when a rash decision landed him in prison. Now twenty-five, Huxley is determined to move on from his delinquent past. Despite his cynicism, he stays out of trouble and gets a job in construction to pay the bills. But there’s one thing from his past that he can’t seem to evade: Connie Broadbent. A seemingly impossible task when his older brother is engaged to her best friend.
However, their plan to ignore each other fails when Connie buys a rundown theatre and is cornered into hiring Huxley, thanks to a little persuasion from her best friend. Wanting to keep their shared past a secret, the two reluctantly agree to work together. This inevitably leads to infuriating mind games and messy push-and-pulls, both too stubborn to give in to their attraction. But soon, they will be forced to face the truth: some mistakes might be worth making twice.
