Aspyn Dumont works at Horizons retirement community. She's good at her job, and she feels good about the works she does. Her boss gives her a special assignment-to chaperone one of the resident's (Mr. Serrano) on outings with his son. Seems his son has "sprung" his grandfather free from the home without getting permission to take him off the premises. Aspyn figures it can't be too hard and she really likes Mr. Serrano.
Well knock her over with a big bowl of "oh no you aren't". Mr. Serrano's grandson is Troy Serrano, Aspyn's nemesis in high school. He dated and cheated on Jasmine, Aspyn's best friend. Not about to let her bestie get disrespected, Aspyn made it it her life's mission to make Troy miserable- she keyed his car, put a little special ingredient in his food to help clean out his colon and generally did all she could to get revenge. Now he's back in her hometown for a bit to watch over his grandfather while his dad is on vacation.
Troy left town after high school and never really looked back. His a financial investment advisor, makes tons of money and has settled down in Seattle. He can work remotely and wants to spend time with his grandfather. But when he sees who the retirement home has assigned him to chaperone his outings, he's surprised. Aspyn brings back memories that aren't filled with Troy's finest moments. He was a kid back then, and made stupid choices. Aspyn can't still be holding a grudge after all these years?
Aspyn is helping to raise her late sister's daughter Kiki. She never had the opportunity to leave town and see something of the world. She had responsibilities and her life is here, but she can't help but be a little resentful of Troy and all he's done since graduation. At first they are a couple of prickly pears, uncomfortable around each other, but drawn to each other nonetheless.
After each outing, there's a little more to bring them closer. It's only a matter of time until they give in to the chemistry between them. Keep in mind this is a Penelope Ward novel-if you've read her books before then you know all that sweet is going to curdle at some point. Just keep reading, take deep breaths and know that when two people are so right for each other, maybe they can work through all the wrong.
