Four friends made a promise to live one night like it was their last.
That night changed everything.
Ten years ago, Mila Ferguson fled Hart’s Landing with a devastating fire, a stolen kiss, and a shattered circle of friends in her wake. But when a crisis brings her home, Mila just wants to get in and get out, unscathed by her mother’s constant criticism and unseen by her former crush, Everett McKean.
Only...Everett is everywhere. The boy Mila once loved is now the town’s scorching hot, beloved mayor. And when he’s not serving his constituents or running the family farm, Everett is taking advantage of his second chance with Mila―the one who got away.
As Mila reconnects to her roots and opens her heart, she discovers that coming home again isn’t about where you’ve been―it’s about who you’re brave enough to become. But when old wounds threaten to open after questions emerge about what really happened the night Mila left, it’s that bravery that will finally set her free.
Sexy, heartfelt, and steeped in small-town charm, Hart’s Landing is a story of forgiveness, friendship, and finding the family who loves you no matter how far you wander.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
A great start to what I think will be a great series! Well, at least it better be a series because I see a lot of unfinished business and characters to explore. Mila and her closest friends meet together one night their senior year of high school to remember their best friend who died that year from cancer. Their meeting was about each of them fulfilling an important task set to them by their dear friend. For Mila, it meant telling the boy she liked how she feels. But the night instead ends with a fire that has her fleeing from Hart’s Landing for ten years. Now, she must return home to take care of her mother, a woman who has made it her job to critique Mila in every way possible. It will be a long six weeks. But coming also means facing the past, reconnecting with the friends she drifted from, and seeing the boy she liked. Everett is now the mayor of the town and when he sees Mila again, all the questions of what if come to surface. He has a second chance with Mila and he won’t screw it up. He’ll prove to Mila that he is nothing like her exes and that he will always been in her corner. But will she let him? Absolutely loved this story. It was so much fun getting to know a new town and cast of characters. I definitely spotted some potential couples and I loved getting to know Mila and Everett. I also loved Mila’s journey with herself. We see her find the strength and confidence to be herself and stand up for herself in a way she never believed she could. We get to see Everett find a love he never imagined he would want or have. And adored how these two fought for one another. Great, great story and I can’t wait for more!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
