A Small Town Second Chance Romance

By: Lucy Alden

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Are some second chances worth the risk?

Claire Edgemont has built the perfect life in Hampstead Hollow. Beloved third-grade teacher, devoted single mom to eight-year-old Lily, and completely over Jack Winslow—the boy who shattered her heart fourteen years ago when he left without a word.

But when Jack returns as her school's new facilities manager, avoiding him becomes impossible. The scrawny teenager has returned as a broad-shouldered veteran with storm-gray eyes and gentle hands that can fix broken swing sets—and make her pulse race with a single touch. Every stolen glance leads to stolen kisses that threaten to demolish every wall she's spent years building.

When a vindictive school board member discovers their secret and threatens to destroy both their careers, Claire faces an impossible choice: sacrifice the job she loves and the security Lily depends on, or walk away from the only man who's ever made her feel truly alive.

This time, he's not running—but she might be the one too scared to stay.
