Her plan: unveil the secret identity of a chart-topping author living in her hometown. And while everyone at the local café is eager to help, no one can solve the mystery. Not even her drive-me-crazy ex-boyfriend who she’d rather not see again. As in, never. Thorne Kent is shocked when Athena walks into his café. After all, their relationship went down in flames not just once but twice. There’s no denying the chemistry between them still burns. So why did she risk coming back to town?
