Second Hope

Not all wounds heal.

I learned that the hard way when Gerald left without so much as a word. We were childhood sweethearts and I thought that we would grow old together.

I thought wrong.

It’s been years since I last saw him and I’ve been lying to myself, thinking that I was over him.
Then he walks back into our small town and I promise no one ever made my heart beat the way he can.

He says that he wants me back, that he’s sorry, and wants a second chance.
I want to believe him so bad, but he’s already burned me once.

Gerald says that he realizes now that running from his problems is never the answer.
I think that it might just be my solution.
Until he catches me, that is.

Now it’s time for me to make a decision. Can I trust him again and take this second chance or is the risk too great for me to take?

Second Hope is a small town vibe story about first love and second chance filled with searing hot tension, and of course, an emotional HEA. Enjoy!
