I might be a country girl from the same small town of Sweetwater, Texas, as horse wrangler Roarke Frost, the girl next door who knows him like few know him, but I didn’t know enough to save my heart.
He’s the reason why I left Sweetwater behind.
But now fate proves she loves a wicked twist and sends me back to Sweetwater to pull together a Christmas festival—and I run smack into the man again, quite literally. His body is pressed to mine, his hands on my arms, and I’m melting like chocolate in the sizzling Texas sunshine. And I run.
I know it’s not exactly respectable, but it works, just not for long. No matter how much I try to get tangled up in Christmas, I end up tangled up in Roarke instead—and the man has me feeling the heat of our attraction and the warmth of our past friendship. He feels like Mr. Right, but history says he’s Mr. Wrong.
But if he wants a second chance, Roarke Frost is going to have to work for it. He’ll need to prove to me that this holiday is a season of new beginnings, the kind that last forever.
Hannah and Roark were best friends and that friendship developed into love and she thought they would be together forever until she believed that he betrayed her. She left her hometown and created a new life for herself as a photographer in LA until it all came crashing down and she has returned home to regroup.
When everything went down Roark couldn’t believe that Hannah thought he would betray her like she accused but he knows that telling her what really happened would hurt her more than she had already been through so he decided to keep the secret until she came home. The chemistry and connection between them is stronger than ever and he is determined that they will finally have the life together they were destined to have even if that means exposing the past that people would like to remain buried.
This is a second chance at love story between two people who were always meant to be together. It is a story filled with family, friends and emotion as for them to finally have their second chance they must forgive and heal from the past.
