REKINDLING THE FLAME by MADISON MYERS

I never intended to set foot in Smoky Heights again.

But when I learn my mom has less than a year to live, I swallow my pride and return to help her through her final months. My plan is stay focused, avoid the past, and most importantly, steer clear of Wyatt Grady—my first love and the person I hurt the worst when I left.

But fate has other ideas. One unfortunate encounter is all it takes to remind me that the chemistry between us is as electric as ever, reigniting old desires and emotions I thought I’d buried for good. What starts as a reluctant reunion quickly turns into something far more complicated. Before I know it, we’re in too deep, with a pact to keep things strictly physical.

Soon enough, he’s becoming the best part about my visit to this small mountain town we both grew up in. All we need to do is keep feelings out of the equation, but as old sparks reignite, that becomes harder and harder to stick to, and I can’t help wondering if I made the wrong choice all those years ago.

Rekindling the Flame is a touching story of redemption, rekindled love, and the power of forgiveness. It is a standalone with a happily ever after, and has enough spice to start a food truck.
