[DEBUT] Camille Marino cannot lose focus. With a sister to support, no family here in San Francisco to help, and a business to run, she can only count on herself. So when her high school sweetheart Drew Bautista walks back into her life, Camille doesn't have the time to renew an old passion…no matter how much she may like the idea. Drew is home for only a short while before his deployment, to help his family with their restaurant—and mend his relationship with his father. But when he runs into Camille, he is confident he can make time for her as well. However, when interests start conflicting, Drew and Camille have to determine if it is them against the world or them against each other. Debut author Marcelo does a great job of introducing dynamic characters and setting their story in the City by the Bay, which plays its own significant role.
