second chance

Poppy August Whitley was just a fling–someone fun to spend my time with no strings attached. We broke things off before our feelings grew, but it was already too late. After leaving town, I swore to myself that I would never look back. And when I get surprising news, I’m completely committed to doing it alone. Until one night when he walks back into my life… August Poppy Williams. She was an enigma and a mystery that I wanted to unravel. Neither of us were ready for a commitment and after a misunderstanding, she left town without a single word. I tried to find her, but it was as if she fell off the grid. It was messing with my head and becoming a threat to my hockey career. Until one night, one date with another girl… I find Poppy working at the restaurant and she’s pregnant. With my child. I let her leave me once before, but this time I won’t let her get away.

Sofia Carlsen has been living the majority of her life running away from her past. Unfortunately that also meant running away from her childhood best friends. After having moved to a whole different country at the age of seven, and being promised to be back four years later, something traumatic happened, messing up the original plans. While a promise made shortly before her departure kept her heart in New City, she was still an ocean apart from him. Aaron Marsh is good at making promises, determined to never break one. He has big dreams but an even bigger mouth when it comes to Sofia. When he heard she would move away, Aaron couldn’t help himself but to promise Sofia to be together again. Given that she was only supposed to stay away for four years, an easy promise to hold on to, right? But what if four years turn into thirteen? After thirteen years apart, childhood sweethearts meet again. Soon Aaron finds out that Sofia needs someone to spend the holidays with. Naturally, Aaron is her guy; making yet another promise to her. Being in a forced proximity for weeks, they get closer again and are quick to learn that neither of them ever stopped holding on to the promises Aaron made. Now only one question remains; Will they make it? Will Aaron have to break his promises, or is he able to make the ones made at the age of eight come true?
