Not all wounds heal. I learned that the hard way when Gerald left without so much as a word. We were childhood sweethearts and I thought that we would grow old together. I thought wrong. It’s been years since I last saw him and I’ve been lying to myself, thinking that I was over him. Then he walks back into our small town and I promise no one ever made my heart beat the way he can. He says that he wants me back, that he’s sorry, and wants a second chance. I want to believe him so bad, but he’s already burned me once. Gerald says that he realizes now that running from his problems is never the answer. I think that it might just be my solution. Until he catches me, that is. Now it’s time for me to make a decision. Can I trust him again and take this second chance or is the risk too great for me to take? Second Hope is a small town vibe story about first love and second chance filled with searing hot tension, and of course, an emotional HEA. Enjoy!
