Ten years ago Lilly Dumont was the ultimate poor little rich girl, complete with a huge inheritance...

and an uncle determined to take it from her. With the help of her first love, she faked her own death and ran away to New York City, leaving behind everything, including her own name. Lilly Dumont was gone, but Lacey Kincaid was going to make it. Only, neither one ever forgot Ty Benson.

Now Lacey's back to claim her inheritance. And her sizzling reunion with Ty has made her homecoming something to remember! Though not everybody's thrilled to see Lacey alive and well.... And it's up to Ty to make sure his childhood sweetheart doesn't disappear again-this time for good!

Lilly, Ty and Hunter were the three musketeers. They were brought together by chance and bound by a secret. In an attempt to protect Lilly, the boys help her fake her death and escape to New York City. Fast forward ten years, and Ty and Hunter reconnect with Lilly in order to keep her greedy uncle from getting his hands on her trust fund. This wrinkle gives Ty and Lilly a second chance to explore those puppy love feelings they had as teens and see if it was really love or rather, infatuation, but first, Lilly needs to avoid being murdered!

I like romance novels and as far as they go, this one was adorable (aside from the murder stuff). We got to see the romance and relationship between Ty and Lilly grow, but we also got a peek into a few others: Molly and Hunter, Flo and Andrew, Marc and Francie. I really liked Lilly, Ty, Hunter and Molly. They were great characters and I felt their chemistry with each other on a friend and lover level. The book was an easy, entertaining read.
