Jaxon Lavigne left the small town of Chackbay, Louisiana, to escape disapproving parents and has never looked back. She's now a popular English lit professor. Life is good. Really. The only problem is the invite in her mailbox. Who in their right mind has a fifteen-year high school reunion?
Iris Long's days are predictable. She did the safe thing and married the high school quarterback. While her life isn't a grand love affair, it's comfortable, and as the secretary at the local high school, she can see her daughter and son throughout the day. Her family is great, but Iris longs for the one person she can't have.
Jaxon comes back to town amid gossip that started sixteen years earlier and never really died down. After crushing on Iris in high school, seeing her again is a welcome surprise. But it's Iris's daughter, Sean, whose dark hair, blue eyes, and brilliant mind are startlingly like Jaxon's own who exposes scars from small town secrets.
Jaxon has been kept in the dark by those she loves most, including Iris. But when the truth is finally revealed, will she leave for good?
