Overview

She thought she'd left her small-town past behind-until love brought her home. Chloe LaRue doesn't do second chances. As a celebrated pastry chef in Paris, she built a beautiful life with her adventurous husband Jean-Marc-until a tragic skiing accident shattered everything. Only ten months after losing the love of her life, she's forced to return to sleepy Hearts Bend, Tennessee, to care for her cancer-stricken mother. But some people are worth coming home for. Enter Sam Hardy-the NFL superstar quarterback who crushed her teenage dreams and is now her boss at Haven's Bakery. Once the golden boy who broke her fifteen-year-old heart, he's fighting his own demons: a playboy reputation he's desperate to shed and a bitter feud with his father that's poisoned his soul. When Chloe walks back into his life-still beautiful, still wounded, still the only woman who ever saw the real him-everything changes. In Hearts Bend, Tennessee, some hearts get a second chance at forever... As Chloe throws herself into saving the beloved local bakery from corporate takeover, and Sam fights to prove he's more than his past mistakes, they discover that some loves are worth waiting fifteen years for. But when Chloe's late husband leaves her a stunning surprise that could pull her back to France forever, she must choose between honoring her past and embracing an uncertain future. Sometimes the biggest risk isn't protecting your heart-it's having the courage to open it again.
