Two hearts, one second chance: will they find redemption or just more heartache? Alec Beckett, true to his name, is a witty smart-aleck who's been nursing a broken heart for far too long. When the girl who shattered his dreams, Willow Rushman, suddenly reappears, he feels the urge to run. Yet every breath she takes ignites a challenge to his sense of honor-and maybe even the walls he's built around himself. Willow knows this moment is too precious to let slip away. Determined to engage in a battle of words, she finds Alec less a knight in shining armor and more a toad in tinfoil. But as their playful sparring escalates, the barriers between them begin to crumble, revealing a connection they can't ignore. With a second chance hanging in the balance, will a hasty promise lead them to redemption-or will it all slip away again? In a battle of wits, will love emerge victorious?
