Rico Rodriguez was my first friend, first kiss, and first love. Then he was my first heartbreak. Seven years ago, he left me and this small town to join the Army. Now he’s back, a single dad in search of a second chance. But I’m not the girl he left behind, and I have no interest in taking a walk down memory lane. It will take more than his sexy smile, sweet son, and meddling mom to mend this broken heart. Hearts to Mend is a sexy, full-length, small town, second chance romance with an own-voices depiction of surviving a major medical crisis. Featuring a single dad hero and a firefighter heroine, Hearts to Mend is Book Two of the Hearts of Texas series, but it can be read as a standalone.
