Summer kisses and second chances… will they be enough to lay the past to rest and find a new way to happily ever after?
Power suits and the smell of success can mask anything, including the gaping hole in Adam Halliday’s chest where his heart once beat. He traded that heart for a lucrative career as an attorney in Malibu, where sunny days lead to long, sultry nights, and the beaches and surf are epic. When tragedy strikes and he becomes the guardian of his best friend’s son, he is in way over his head. He needs the provincial nine-to-five life he left behind in Elf Hollow, Minnesota. He needs family. Too bad going home exposes him to the woman who still holds his missing heart.
Cat Dayne is living her best life in the picturesque town of Elf Hollow, snuggled along the banks of the great Lake Superior. She embraces family, friends, and all the feels that come with small town values. Never mind all her friends are dropping like flies to marriage or that the entire town knows her high school sweetheart broke her heart not once, but twice. And never mind an Adam-sized fissure robbed her of the ability to ever trust her heart to love again. None of that mattered, because she didn’t need a man to have a family of her own. Right?
When Adam turns up and enlists her help in learning how to parent his new ward, it’s all good. After all this time, she’s immune to his devilish charm and charismatic personality. But after one wicked smile, she realizes she has no self-preservation when it comes to the man with the California bod hot enough to melt a freezer pop.
Old patterns return and sparks reignite, and they must confront the wounds of their past, and navigate the present to finally find a future full of love and family, proving that sometimes all you need is a second chance.
Welcome to Elf Hollow, MN, where hearts meet, dreams entwine, and love finds its happily ever after.
