Description

A clean & wholesome small-town second-chance romance about first loves reunited, single-parent stakes, and the hard work of forgiveness. Expect slow-burn, closed-door (only-kisses) chemistry, emotional family drama, and a redemption arc as two former teen sweethearts face the past to fight for a future—set against the heart-tugging charm of Stone River—on the way to a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for readers who love coming home, co-parenting challenges, and low-angst, high-heart stories.

Can the tenderness of the present make up for the mistakes of the past?

At 17, Rebecca Waites left her parents' home in shame, desperate for more than the life she and Zack Dupre could have with their unborn child.

At 27, Becca's return to Stone River is just as dramatic. She's reeling from a divorce and her son's recent diagnosis, unable to tell her family the truth. But thanks to Zack's investigative connections, he knows all and he's angry, believing she's as deceitful and self-centered as the girl who left him so long ago.

The depth of Becca's betrayals leave Zack Dupre struggling, and if he has any hope of making a comeback and winning his first love, he has to find a way to get over the past. But the question remains—how do you forgive the unforgivable?
