She swore she'd never go back to her hometown. He's spent the last twelve years praying she would.

When Aurora Weiss moved away from Smoky Heights in the middle of the night without a goodbye, she thought nothing could ever bring her back. Until her mother gets diagnosed with a terminal illness, and this is her final chance to make things right.

Determined to help her only parent through her last months, Aurora settles into the small mountain town she ran away from with two goals. One, avoid her first love, Wyatt Grady, and two, give her mother as much life as possible between now and the end.

But when she runs into Wyatt on her first day back in town, nothing goes as planned. While every other person in town hates her for leaving, her ex-the one person who should hate her the most-seems to be the only one who doesn't. Wyatt quickly becomes her anchor as she grapples with facing the destruction of her past, and a painful future without her mother, or ever finding another love like her first.

As much as Aurora couldn't wait to get home to the big city when she first arrived back in town, time moves all too quickly once she's there, and she only has so many moments left with the only people she's ever loved. Can she right all her wrongs while she still has the chance? Or will old sparks reignite and burn down everything she's trying to rebuild?

Rekindling the Flame is a standalone with a happily ever after and can be read on its own, or as book one in the Smoky Heights series. It is a story about second chances and it has enough spice to start a food truck.
