Description
A broken heart. A chance encounter. One night that could change everything.
Jacqui Hall is limping through 1984 with a heart shattered so thoroughly, it might be irreparable. When a plum magazine job across the country arises, she jumps at the opportunity, desperate to restart her life and chase her dreams. And when she meets a handsome stranger and they share one reckless, memorable night, it stirs passions she feared were long dead.
But leaving California brings consuming loneliness and new troubles as Jacqui struggles to find her footing. Until Mr. One Night Only roars back into her life, testing her resolve about falling for another sweet-talking man with bedroom eyes-and arms that feel like home. Especially when they're both emotionally scarred and harboring deal-breaking secrets.
But if she's brave enough to trust again, will Jacqui find the man truly worthy of her heart?
Recalling the days of muscle car culture and low-tech times, K.C. Lake delivers an intimate story of healing hearts and found family. When There Was You is the second propulsive book in the California Dreaming contemporary romance series. If you like emotional reads, strong dialogue, and swoonworthy book boyfriends, you'll adore this sizzling love story packed with all the feels.

Person
K.C. Lake writes angsty, realistic love stories packed with heart and heat. California Dreaming is her first romance series. An avid romance reader, her shelves are lined with trophies, and her TBR is out of control (then again, size matters). She lives with her grumpy, touch-her-and-die, non-billionaire husband and dog in the beautiful woods of Virginia. Find more info, subscribe, and connect at www.kclakebooks.com.
