What happens when the life you escaped is the one you still want?
Are you the Jack Mathews I met on Santa Catalina Island twenty-one years ago?
One question and the past is back-uninvited, unforgiving, and determined to wreck Jack's world.
Elizabeth Lambert is a master of reinvention. From Californian trailer-park teen to celebrated interior designer with a picture-perfect life-she has everything-except the love she lost at fifteen. So when the pandemic hits, she tracks him down.
Jack Mathews is now a struggling car dealer in a small town near San Diego, father of three and married to a beloved school principal. But once he answers that first message, Jack and Elizabeth's flirtatious exchange rapidly escalates into an erotic obsession, with both wondering: What if...?
Then Elizabeth arrives in Jack's hometown, ready to risk everything for the life they've longed for-but is Jack?
