A slow burn second chance romance with small-town charm, healing hearts, and one very protective hero who isn’t letting her go without a fight this time…

The only man I’ve ever loved isn’t the one I spent years of my life with.
He’s the one I had to push away.
I shouldn’t have let Holden Aron matter.
But I did—in the quiet book stacks of our college library, between stolen glances and late night conversations. Falling for him became impossible to avoid.
Until I broke his heart to protect him… and he broke mine by moving on in a way I never forgot.
More than a decade later, I’m rebuilding my life in a small town with my shy son, a bakery dream, and a future only I control.
Then Holden walks back into my life.
He stays. He shows up when I get hurt, makes my son smile, and becomes the steady presence I didn’t know I needed.
And despite his reputation as a ladies’ man who keeps things physical and avoids anything emotional since me, Holden promises that’s not who he is.
I want to believe him. To see what we could be.
But my ex has found me… again.
And this time, he’s not just threatening me—he’s coming for everything I’m trying to build.

But I’m not alone.
Because Holden isn’t just my second chance.
He’s the man who refuses to let me lose everything again.
