About Take Me Back to the Start

Her first love was unforgettable. Losing him was unbearable. Seeing him again might be undoable.

Christine “Teeny” Diaz thought she had life figured out—married young, built a career, played the part of the perfect wife. But now, at thirty-six, she’s facing a failed marriage, a shattered heart, and a past she’s tried to bury. Until Everett Hayes walks back into her life.

Once the boy next door, Everett was her first love—the one who left without knowing the secret she carried. Now, thrown together for her brother’s wedding, old wounds reopen, and memories resurface: stolen kisses, late-night diner runs, the way he made her feel like the only girl in the world. But the truth she never told him still stands between them.

Everett never forgot Teeny, never stopped wondering what could have been. Now that fate has brought them back together, he’s determined to prove that their love was never meant to be left behind. But when long-buried secrets come to light, Teeny must decide if the pain of the past is too much to risk a future with the only man she’s ever truly loved.
