About this ebook
Kentucky-born Monica Caldwell built her life in New York fearlessly, but not without struggle. Throwing herself into her career not only helped her assert her independence, it assisted in filling the emptiness she felt after her mother's death from cancer. But walking away from Jess Washburn years ago was the hardest choice she ever made.
Jess never forgot her.
Monica tried to forget him.
Now a chance reunion in Paris, Kentucky cracks open old wounds, buried desire, and a truth neither of them saw coming. Because some connections don’t fade with time. They wait. They ache. They demand answers.
Three days in Las Vegas with her father and his new love should have been a distraction. Instead, it becomes a reckoning ... because Jess is there, too.
Caught between the future she’s built and the love she never truly let go of, Monica must decide if she’s brave enough to return to the one place she swore she’d never go back to: him.
Because sometimes the road forward isn’t about starting over.
It’s about finding the way back to us.
A steamy, emotional second-chance romance about fate, forgiveness, and choosing love when it matters most.
