Maggie Pickwick is a lifetime away from her days as head cheerleader and the mistakes she made in high school. Twelve years later, this single mom has traded pompoms for an auctioneer's gavel, popularity for peace and quiet, and strives to be a good example for her daughter Devyn. She's keeping it together just fine, too--until an old flame moves back to her little North Carolina town.Renowned artist Reece Thorpe wants nothing to do with Maggie--not after what she did to him in high school--but he might also be Devyn's father. Fed by her own pride and fear for her daughter's happiness, Maggie finds herself on a slippery slope of white lies as she attempts to convince Reece that she's changed. But the truth has a way of making itself known, and now Maggie's past and present mistakes could ruin her chance at love.From the Trade Paperback edition.
