Second chances are meant to bring hope but aren't they also a reminder of everything we've lost? Brenna Hayes knows exactly what it's like to lose everything you love. Widowed and broken, a second chance knocks on her door when an old mentor offers her a job in the town she left all those years ago. But there's a reason she left and it's the same reason she dreads going back. With no other option, she packs her things and returns to her past only to discover she left more loose ends than she realized. Grant Carter is one of those loose ends. The boy who broke her heart so many years ago and, ironically, has become the man who fixes things for a living. He also happens to be the contractor for Brenna's new home and suddenly finds himself face-to-face with the only woman he's ever loved. And the only woman he ever let go. Now, he's determined not to let his second chance get away and show Brenna just how good he is at mending what's been broken. *Rated 18+ due to mature themes and language.

Austin knows one thing for sure; Ellie will keep going until she finds the truth. And in order to keep her safe, he has to stay far, far away from her. But can he?
