Nathan's Second Chance (Cardinal Falls) by E.J. Stoll

Nathan Fifteen years ago, I kissed my best friend. It’s not exactly a surprise when he tells me he doesn’t share my feelings. Some might have called it nothing more than a teenage crush, but I loved him. Luckily, moving five hundred miles away for college and many years has healed my broken heart. Mostly. When Colt walks back into my life, it feels like the ghost of lovers past has come to haunt me. It’s nice to have my friend back, but I fear I’m falling for him all over again. Colt Moving to Cardinal Falls is my chance to start over, away from my family and their expectations. When I run into Nathan at a bar, it’s a chance to reconnect with the one who got away. It’s easy to fall back into old patterns, watching movies and hanging out like nothing’s changed. I still want more out of our relationship, to deepen it into a more meaningful connection. The problem is that I’m not sure how to make that happen. Nathan’s Second Chance is the first book in the Cardinal Falls Series. Each book follows a different couple and can be read as a stand-alone novel. Characters will cross over, and the series can best be enjoyed in order.
