With a teaching job secured and an adorable fixer-upper to call home, things in her life are finally looking up.<\/p>\n<p>That is, until she finds out that Shane Beckett lives next door.<\/p>\n<p>Shane Beckett, the handsome and charismatic high school star quarterback who smashed her heart. The lying, cheating player who was supposed to be long gone, living the pro football dream and fooling women into thinking he\u2019s Prince Charming. Shane Beckett, who is as attractive as ever and flashing his dimples at her as if he has done no wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Scarlet makes it abundantly clear that old wounds have not been forgotten. Neighbors they may be, but friends they most certainly are not. She won\u2019t allow herself to fall for the single father and firefighter again, no matter how many apologies he offers, how many times he rushes to her aid, or how hard he makes her heart pound.<\/p>\n<p>But as she spends more time with him, she begins to fear that maybe she\u2019s wrong. Maybe Shane has changed.<br \/>\nAnd maybe this time she\u2019s the one playing herself\u2014out of a chance at true happiness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"
