    About this ebook

    A single day can change a lifetime.
    After fifteen years, Jennifer Hughes is back in her home town on business.
    It seemed big and busy then. Now it seems very small. Only the golden Summer sun remains the same.
    The ghosts of past friends surround her, but the only one she wonders about is Jason Spencer. The boy who dumped her.
    And then he turns up. In the flesh.
    She can't go back, but does she have to move on without him?

    Alexandria Blaelock

    Alexandria Blaelock writes stories, some of them for Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and Pulphouse Fiction Magazine. She's also written four self-help books applying business techniques to personal matters like getting dressed, cleaning house, and feeding your friends. As a recovering Project Manager, she’s probably too fond of sticking to plan. She lives in a forest because she enjoys birdsong, the scent of gum leaves and the sun on her face. When not telecommuting to parallel universes from her Melbourne based imagination, she watches K-dramas, talks to animals, and drinks Campari. At the same time.
