Now, I'm trying to pick up the pieces and do right by a little girl who just wants her mom. </p><p><br></p><p>When my twentieth high school reunion rolls around, I come face-to-face with Emily, the ex whose heart I broke before she could break mine. Old feelings come rushing back, but I don't have time to grieve, let alone start a relationship. </p><p><br></p><p>Regardless of the palpable temptation to restore what we lost, all I can offer Emily is an apology and friendship. </p><p><br></p><p>But the lines I've drawn start to blur when she becomes my niece's soccer coach and I spend the entire season on the sidelines pretending I'm not wondering what might happen if we had a second chance.</p><p><br></p><p>Everything changes in one liquor-fueled night of confessions. I have no choice but to fight for Emily, for what we could have together. I've already wasted too much of my life without her in my arms, in my bed.</p><p>Maybe the second time's the charm...</p>
