Even rock stars are
haunted by the one that got away...
Chasing music and freedom, Shane Knox
left Arbor Shores nine years ago and never looked back... until now.
With his best friend, Dax, getting married, Shane is coming home to
face his past as well as Avery, the girl he left behind.
The second he lays eyes on her, all of
his long suppressed feelings come rushing back in a tidal wave of
regret. For him, it was never truly over. But is it too late for a
second chance?
Despite being bitter over Shane’s
abrupt exit, Avery has bigger problems on her hands than drama with
her ex. Her family’s hotel, Arbor Shores Resort, is struggling.
Financial difficulties have landed the business in prime position for
a real estate buyout, which would destroy all Avery and her family
have built.
Putting his career on the line, Shane
comes up with a plan that could save the resort. But will it be
enough to redeem himself with Avery?
Or is it time for him to leave Arbor
Shores for good?

“Is that old lighthouse still
up at North Point?” he asked.
“It sure is. They closed it to
the public several years back, so you can’t get to it by the main
gate. You can still get out to it, but you have to park down a side
road and then walk up the coast for about a quarter of a
mile.”
Shane looked at her and grinned.
“Take a walk with me?”
“You mean, to the
lighthouse?”
“I’d love to see
it.”
She thought to herself for a
moment about all that needed to be done at the resort, but something
about taking a walk up the shore to the abandoned lighthouse with
Shane was calling out to her. Plus, she hadn’t seen it herself in
years.
“Okay, up here about a mile,
you’ll see a small opening. Turn left onto the dirt road, and then
park anywhere on the side of the road.”
Shane followed her directions
and parked the truck on the wooded road. They walked a short way to
an opening that landed them on a deserted beach, then headed north up
the shoreline. Shane stopped every few minutes to look for Petoskey
stones, a native stone to the area that was commonly found on the
shores of Lake Michigan. His excitement was
infectious.
“Wow, it’s even cooler
looking now that it’s abandoned,” he said as they grew closer to
the lighthouse. “Can you still get inside?”
“I don’t think so. And even
if you could, I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
“Chicken?” he challenged her
as he started jogging toward it. The lighthouse jetted off into the
water on a rocky base, and the two had to climb those rocks to reach
it. Once atop, Shane tried the door, but it was locked. He
disappeared around the other side, and Avery scanned the area to make
sure nobody else was nearby. She was already a bit nervous that they
were trespassing, and now he wanted to go inside the abandoned
lighthouse that had been closed for years? She had to admit, this was
the most excitement she’d felt since she was a teenager when they
used to sneak around so Dax wouldn’t find out they were dating.
When he finally did catch them, he wasn’t happy. But after a few
months he realized he could either spend time with them together, or
Shane was going to keep disappearing to spend time alone with Avery,
so he dropped the protective older brother act and gave them his
blessing.
“Avery, over here!” she
heard him yell from the other side. She met up with him to find he
had opened a side door.
“Shane! What are you doing? We
can’t go in there. How did you even get that door
open?”
“I pushed.” He grinned. “Go
to the top with me? I bet the views are amazing from up
there.”
“If we get caught, we are
going to get into some serious trouble.”
“Are you always this much
fun?” he teased. “What happened to that fearless girl I used to
know?”
“She grew up and got
responsible. At least I can say that for one of us.” But her
comment fell on deaf ears as Shane disappeared inside. Avery couldn’t
help but follow him. The adrenaline of sneaking into the lighthouse
was exhilarating, and she didn’t mind the thought of being alone
with Shane at the top.
She followed him in and closed
the door behind her. A musty smell greeted her as she made her way up
the creaky stairs to try to catch up to Shane, who was halfway to the
top.
“Shane!” she hollered up in
a soft yell as if someone would hear her. “Wait up, there are
cobwebs everywhere!”
“Be careful on these stairs,”
he yelled down as he waited for her, allowing her to pass him so she
would be in front of him. As she passed, he put his hands on her
waist to steady her, setting off a chain reaction in her body. He
always had a way of making her feel safe. “Here, you go ahead of me
so I can catch you if you fall.”
“I’m not going to fall.”
She gave him a playful smile, but she was comforted knowing he was
behind her.
When they reached the top step,
both of their mouths dropped in awe. The view of Lake Michigan from
the top of the watchtower was spectacular. The lake went on for what
seemed like an eternity, and the 360-degree views of the area were
stunning. Unable to see across, the massive lake disappeared into an
abyss of blue until it melted into a different shade from the
cloudless sky. The watchtower was about ten feet in diameter, with an
opening for the staircase in the middle, making it a tight fit for
two people. Avery clung to a brass railing near the window. She felt
Shane come up behind her and wrap his arms around her waist,
enveloping her in the sweetest embrace.
She turned her body around to
face him, and he kept his arms around her. She could feel his warm
breath as he leaned in and cupped her cheek with one hand. She leaned
into it, allowing him to caress her face.
“I’ve missed you, Avery.”
His voice was low. She closed her eyes, taking in the moment. She had
a feeling he wanted to finish the kiss that nearly started last night
outside of Ripples, and she couldn’t think of any reason to stop
him.
