This is a new to me author and the writing was good. The story is told from both Mallory and Josh's points of view and we see how they both got hurt when Mallory left five years ago and Josh did not fight for her. We also see how they very much still love each other as Mallory comes home for a short visit, only to bump into each other again and stir up old feelings.

With Mallory only going home to hide as her true name has come out as a writer from her pen name, as a erotic author, Mallory finds it hard especially with small town gossips. But she has more advocates than she expects.

Being a novella everything happens fairly quickly, but this would have been better i feel as a full length novel.

Still a decent read.
