A secret baby romance nestled in small-town Montana that will have you believing in the power of love and the importance of forgiveness. After her two year relationship went sour, Lena wanted nothing more than to drown her sorrows in whiskey before climbing into her bed and sleeping for a decade. While she did end up in bed, it was with a sexy, inked, bartender who was the exact opposite of her suit and tie wearing ex. That night turned into two blissful weeks until Graham was forced to leave in order to care for his ailing mother. One month and two pink lines later, Lena discovers her entire world is about to change. Unable to bring herself to pull Graham's focus from where she believed it should be, Lena shuts him out, ignoring his calls and waiting for the right time to tell him about their daughter. Turns out, the right time was nearly half a decade later, and now their daughter is asking questions she can't answer. Confronting him will be the most difficult thing she's ever done, and could prove to be the biggest mistake of her life. After all she's betting a whole hell of a lot on the man he used to be. "This second chance romance made me laugh (the BFF is hilarious), cry and swoon. Not necessarily in that order." "Sweet and steamy all rolled into one..." "Hot, sexy lumberjack with a heart of gold? Yes please!"

USA Today bestselling author Jessica Wayne writes as Carmen Bishop to bring you spicy contemporary romance. During the day, she slays laundry and dishes as a homeschooling, stay at home mom of three, and at night her worlds come to life on paper. She runs on coffee and if you ever catch her wearing matching socks, it's probably because she grabbed them in the dark. She has always believed in the power of true love and soul mates, even if sometimes we have to work a little harder to find ours. She lives in Texas with her husband, kids, their two German Shepherd's and an entire flock of chickens that will likely double before she updates this bio.
