I wanted to conquer the world.
She wanted to gaze at the stars.
It's been twelve years since I last saw Scottie Rucker. A grim prognosis has upended my life, and no amount of my hard-earned money can fix it. So, after leaving a note on the nightstand, I search for my first love-I search for life.
When I find her in Austin, working at a quaint general store and living in an RV behind it, those twelve years vanish. She's exactly how I remember her.
Scottie thinks our reunion is a small-world coincidence, and I'm not ready to tell her the truth. After we rekindle our friendship, she convinces me to work part-time at the store while she pursues her budding relationship with Koen, a welder and the grandson of a customer.
Scottie's ability to live in the moment is exactly what I need. But how do I convince her new boyfriend that I'm not his competition? And what happens if my heart changes its mind?
