From #1 New York Times bestselling author Laurie Gilmore, comes a brand new small-town romance set in the quirky town of Maple Hollow! The closer the proximity, the stronger the spark. Phoebe never expected to fall in love, and especially not with the annoyingly handsome werewolf she's been hanging out with for years. Theo has spent his life comparing himself to his brothers, never quite matching up to his father's expectations. But in Maple Hollow, everything is different. Theo finally has a life of his own and a chance at redemption and he's reluctant to risk it for anything, or anyone. But after years of fighting their attraction to each other, Phoebe and Theo find that denying their feelings is no longer possible. Especially when they end up on a road trip that might change everything.
