Thereβs no place like home, and no love like hisβ¦
Lilly Vasquez has returned home to Compass Cove after making her way in Hollywood as a hair stylist to the stars. With such a successful career, why she moved back to Long Island to open her own salon is a mystery, and Lillyβs not talking. That is until a movie shoot nearby drops the trouble she thought she left in California right into her backyard.
FBI Special Agent Jack Miller has floated in and out of Compass Cove for the last fifteen years, rarely staying in town for more than a few days because heβs so wrapped up in his work. But when a complaint about a potentially dangerous situation in town lands in his lap, Jack is gobsmacked to see the name of the woman who has occupied his thoughts for more years than he can remember, Lilly Vasquez.
With the excitement of a big family wedding, Jack has an excuse to stick close, but Lilly doesnβt appreciate the attention, especially since it stirs up a beeβs nest of long-buried feelings. Likewise, Jack is dealing with his own attraction to the fiery brunette, and itβs making him crazy. He needs to stay objective to keep Lilly safe, but his heart isnβt listening to reason. Will the long-time friends succumb to the small town magic and take the biggest risk of their lives, or will they play it safe, and miss their happily ever after?

Jeannie Moon knows how to write heartwarming romances and I love everything she writes. This is second chance at love story with a hot alpha FBI agent and a strong independent woman.
Compass Cove is a small town where Lily and Jack both spent their childhoods. Growing up, Lily had a crush on Jack but he never seemed to notice her. Years later, Lily decides to return to Compass Cove to get away from an abusive ex. Lily is happy with her new life in Compass Cove and she now owns a successful hair salon. Unfortunately, her world is shaken when she learns her ex will be coming to town to film his latest movie. Lily worries about running into him because she doesnβt trust him and no one believed her accusations against him.
Jack and Lily are thrown together again when Jack, a former military man and now an FBI agent, is assigned to Lilyβs case. Jack has always secretly had a crush on Lily. Years ago, she was too young and she was also his best friends little sister, so he had to keep away from her.Β Now, there is nothing to keep them apart.Β
I enjoyed all the characters living in Compass Cove, especially Jack and Lily. Jack and Lily have a wonderful group of friends and after living away from Compass Cove, they realize how much they missed the people and the town.Β I enjoyed this sweet small town romance.
