The Chance of You

"I'm moving back." With those three words from Nathan McAllister, my quiet life unraveled. It took me years to get over my first love. It was hard to accept he was living the life we'd planned to share. But now he's back. And not just for our high school reunion. He and his daughter, Teagan, are my new neighbors. I go to great lengths to avoid him, but Sapphire Creek just isn't big enough. When Teagan begs me for baking lessons so she can enter the annual cookie competition, I can't refuse the sweet girl with bright eyes. Even if the deal involves seeing more of her father. While we mix, knead, and taste test our creations, I stifle the sting of my messy past with Nate. But I can't keep denying the tension between us, the way our stares tend to linger, or the heat every time our hands brush. Our attraction burns more fiercely than ever. Innocent baked treats soon turn into glasses of wine and overdue confessions, which lead to raw, sizzling kisses. We can't get enough of each other. There's just one problem-we fell in love once, and it ended in heartache. The closer we get to living happily ever after this time around, the more the past comes back to break us, once and for all. But only if we let it.
