Rewind it Back By Liz Tomforde (Paperback)

🌶️HALLIE   I grew up with Rio deLuca woven into every chapter of my life. We were neighbors, best friends, first loves… and eventually, each other’s biggest heartbreak. Walking away at nineteen felt like the only choice, even if it shattered us both.

Six years later, I’m starting over with an internship under a renowned interior designer. It should’ve been the perfect clean slate—until I realize the city I’ve moved to is the same one where Rio plays professionally. I figured Chicago was big enough to keep our paths from crossing.

I was wrong.

Not only is he living next door again, but my new assignment is to renovate his house. I once knew every corner of his heart. Now I’m supposed to redesign his home like we’re strangers.

I cared for Rio once. But I’m not that girl anymore… and I can’t afford to be.

RIO   Everyone around me seems to be settling down, and somehow I’m the last single guy standing. I used to believe love would show up when it was meant to. After years of searching, I’m not sure I believe in it at all.

Then Hallie Hart walks back into my life.

I didn’t know she’d be the one hired to redo my house. I didn’t know she’d be moving in next door. And I definitely didn’t know that seeing her again would drag up every memory I’ve kept locked away since we were kids.

The connection I’ve been missing—the one I’ve been chasing without even realizing it—was something I found when I was twelve years old.

Now she’s here again, living steps away, and I can’t shake the feeling that fate is giving us one more chance… whether we’re ready or not.
