Descripción editorial
From a New York Times bestselling author, a breathtaking second chance love story, perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Christina Lauren.
Teagan Berkeley and Derek Hartz were best friends in high school. There was always something more between them–but Derek abandoned her when she needed him most, and they grew apart.
Years later, Teagan is a single Mom in her small beachside town, and Derek is back–also a single parent after his marriage fails. He wants to make things right with Teagan, but he’s not sure if he deserves her trust.
As they confess their deepest secrets to one another, it's impossible for them to deny what's always been between them. But just when their happily ever after is within reach, their complicated history surfaces again and threatens to keep them apart. Forever.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This indulgently emotional second-chance romance from Michaels (Come Back for Me) sees the sweet reunion of a pair of single parents. Childhood best friends Teagan Berkeley and Derek Hartz never disclosed their mutual crushes before Teagan's unplanned pregnancy with her college boyfriend, Derek's marriage, and his wife's discomfort with their friendship put them out of contact for over a decade. But when Derek and his daughter move back to Chincoteague Island, Va., following his wife's death, the pair reunite amid small-town gossip and the clashing personalities of their two teenage girls. Flashbacks to the mutual pining of their teen years and subsequent falling out slowly build the reader's understanding of the emotional baggage and miscommunication beneath the surface of their present-day interactions, making their eventual love confessions that much more satisfying, though the subsequent sex scenes are disappointingly bland. Some readers will find the relatively painless conflict resolution unrealistic, but most will enjoy the wish fulfillment of a story that sees long-broken hearts heal with barely a scar. This poignant story will gratify hopeless romantics.
