Lillian's return to her hometown after years of heartache sets the stage for a captivating tale. Enter Blake, the irresistible hotshot with a dirty mind and a past that haunts him. But there's more to Blake than meets the eye—he's a devoted single dad to Maddie, a special needs child who steals every scene with her wit and charm. As Lili and Blake navigate their complicated feelings, grief and guilt swirl around them, threatening to pull them under. I gasped, I laughed, and I prayed for their second chance at love. This book delivers a closed-door romance that tugs at your heartstrings, exploring forgiveness, redemption, and the messy beauty of life. And let's talk about Blake—the way he loves Maddie unconditionally? Cue the tears🥹. Even though it took me a while to finish, that epilogue? Mind-blowing!
