About the book
A girl who needs to undo the past.
A boy who wants to forget it.
In love, there’s no way back.


At high school in Steep Hill, Kansas, Cassie O’Malley and Josh MacBride were the poster couple for quarterback/cheerleader romance until they starred in their own tale of teen pregnancy. No need to say: their shotgun wedding was low-key. But when there was no baby anymore, they went their separate ways.

Five years later, Josh has breezed through Georgetown and is about to finish his post-grad degree at Oxford University. He is set to join a lobbying group on Capitol Hill, owned by his new fiancĂ©e’s father. For Josh, the sky is now the limit… only he must first take care of a tiny legal matter: technically, he’s still married to the girl who broke his heart.

Meanwhile, Cassie has been waiting tables in Steep Hill to pay for her sick grandmother’s care. On the day of the old lady’s funeral, Cassie is served with two sets of papers. Josh is asking for a divorce. Her heart squeezes, but, well, he moved on a long time ago. But the second envelope shakes Cassie to the core. So, for the first time, she leaves Kansas and heads to good ol’ England.

There, Cassie finds that Josh has not just “moved on,” he’s freakin’ engaged to some blue-blooded heiress. The feelings Cassie had buried deep rush back to her. But no matter if he keeps thrusting the divorce papers under her nose, she needs him to save the only person she loves more than Josh, more than life itself…

Rachel's Thoughts:
Oh, this story has angst written all over it. My heart had a twisted pull just reading this blurb! Having to witness your love with someone else is torture!!  I'm wondering if the baby is still alive.

Crystal's Thoughts:
I am bouncing to see the scene where Josh and Cassie meet after 5 years!  Scenes like that are always so intense and explosive and always make for the BEST scenes!  I also have a soft spot for high school sweethearts so this book has me written all over it.  I can't wait to dive in!

Don't forget if we feature your pick, you win an e-Book of your choice from either US Amazon or US Barnes & Noble!! We will choose a winner once a month so you have an opportunity every Sunday to leave a suggestion. So be sure to share your Waves pick for a chance to have us feature your selection and an opportunity to win an eBook!!

    1. OMG! Drew Evans has totally taken over my world this week. He's exactly like a box of Pringles .. Once you pop, the fun don't stop!

      In Tangled by Emma Chase you get an entire story from a male POV. And let me tell you Drew Evans is freakin' UNSTOPPABLE!!!!! He's sexy, funny and lovable. Kate and Drew are now in my TOP fave couples :)

      I have never laughed so much while reading a book.

      Go put him on your TBR, you are going to love Drew Evans!
