Description
When fate brings them back together, can their love survive the secrets that tore them apart?
Carter Edwards has always been a go-with-the-flow kind of guy, except when it comes to Penelope Mason: his childhood neighbor and the only girl he's ever fallen in love with. When he finally gathers the courage to make his lifelong love for Penelope known, he finds that she's already chosen a future for herself — one without him in it.
Penelope Mason is a planner by nature. She'd do just about anything to secure the future she imagined for herself, including leaving behind the boy she never planned on falling for. But at twenty-three, that future blows up in her face when she's expelled from her prestigious university and forced to move back in with her parents.
Things only seem to get worse for Penelope when Carter re-enters her life unexpectedly. She forces herself to keep him at arm's length in an attempt to stop him from learning the truth about the past five years. Yet Penelope can't ignore that the one person who always made her feel most herself has walked back into her life just when she needs him most.
Carter won't give up so easily on his second chance with the girl of his dreams. But are Penelope's past and her looming secrets too hard to overcome?
In this heartwarming second-chance romance, two childhood friends ponder fate, coincidence, and maybe even the existence of soulmates.
