Undeniable by Grace Turner

She’d been mine once. Or as close to mine as I’d ever get.

Ivy Sharpe and James Larson were childhood best friends. Until the summer after high school graduation. They spent one secret month sneaking out for late-night drives and dancing until the sun came up.
That one month ended in heartbreak so all-consuming that they’ve tried to avoid each other ever since. And it’s worked for thirteen years.
Until now.
Austin, TX, was supposed to be Ivy’s fresh start. But between mixing drinks during her first shift at a local bar, she finds herself eye-to-eye with the last man she expected to see.
James is just as confused to find Ivy working at his best friends’ bar. Seeing her there, in one of his favorite places, is like his past slapping him in the face.
And based on Ivy’s reaction, she’d love nothing more than to make that slap a reality.
They fight. They argue. But no matter how hard they try, nothing can stifle the attraction and feelings bubbling back to the surface. Feelings that prove they can only run from their explosive past for so long.
Especially when they both end up back in their hometown and the place where it all began.
But they aren’t the same people they were thirteen years earlier, and it’s what happened after that summer that may be impossible to overcome.
Some wounds not even time can heal. And some secrets aren’t meant to stay hidden.
