Butler's quest for redemption collides with Tania's gutsy revolution

Once upon a time Butler and Tania hated each other
"Jerk!"
"Ice queen!"
Now in their 40s, they both return to their hometown for a second chance at self-respect.
And what simmers between them is nothing less than shocking

Honesty and real friendship? Yeah
Hot attraction? Overwhelming, unfortunately
Actual emotions? Dammit, how did this happen?

But Meager, South Dakota has become a minefield of risky choices and deep regrets,
Survival and hard won acceptance.
But for all their boldness and determination to get their lives back on track, Butler and Tania's timing with each other is alllll wrong.

Yet through it all an undeniable red hot passion blazes between them that they both know is

Once
In
A
Lifetime
Now, taking the greatest risk is the only thing left to do.

"The bad boy.

The fuck up.
The thief.

That was me.

Once a king,
Now a wanderer.
I'd thrown the best parts of me away, over and over again.
I was reckless.
Still am.
I'd been exiled.
Twice.
I did my time.
I've cleaned up.
Well, sort of.
I got plans.
Yeah, good ones.

Then I ran into her.

A bolt of lightning
Startling
Unsettling
Breathtaking
And so out of reach.

The woman I once scorned years ago
is now the woman I can't stop thinking about, dreaming about.
I need what I didn't think I'd ever need again.
I want and want and want.

Torture.

Now she's the epicenter of the war I've triggered,
and the battle in my rusted heart.
I may be as reckless as I ever was,
but I'm determined as f*ck.

To hell with it.
I want it all."
