Lucy is back after her husband dies DUI, and she's not really mourning him, although the town thinks she had the "perfect" marriage - not knowing that he was an alcoholic. And bad boy, bastard child outcast, Aaron is back - this time as the school counselor for high-risk teens and the basketball coach. Lucy falls in love with Aaron, and in the surprise ending, he finds out who his father really was...and it's not who he thought. ( )

From BackCover:
YOU ARE NOW ENTERING RIVERBEND, INDIANA
Riverbend... home of the River Rats -- a group of small-town sons and daughters who've been friends since high school. The River Rats are all grown up now. Living their lives and learning that some days are good and some days aren't -- and that you can get through anything as long as you have your friends.
Aaron Mazerik is back!
He isn't the town bad boy anymore, but some people still don't think he's good enough--especially not for Riverbend's Golden Girl, Lily Holden. Which is fine with Aaron, since he's convinced there's an even bigger reason he and Lily shouldn't be together.... ( )
