The Fire and the Thud
Eight years. That’s how long it’s been since Lexi last saw her ex-boyfriend, briefly ex-fiance. Struggling with her writing career in LA, she decides it’s time to move back home to East Highland, knowing it will bring her back to the setting of her biggest regret - her decision to end things with Fezco due to outside pressure from her family. Theoretically, she knows they were right, but her heart has never healed. What will happen when they’re forced to interact again, thrown together by their overlapping social circle? Does Fezco still hate her, as he rightfully should? Or will he be indifferent to her because she meant that little to him, their puppy love a passing fancy? Can Lexi be brave and hide her yearning for him behind a carefully curated expression? Or can their love stand the test of time, able to overcome ego, pride, and meddlesome friends and family?
