Ellie Pagan made one promise to herself: never give Ford Landry a second chance.



She’s determined to leave him in the dust right where he belongs.



That’s been easy … until now.



The military hero strolls back into town looking like a whole snack. As if that’s not bad enough, he’s flashing her an almost-irresistible smile and insisting that leaving her was the biggest mistake of his life.



But Ellie? She’s not interested in rewriting history.



Her days are filled with opening her dream boutique and caring for her aging father. There’s no room in her life for broken promises—even if Ford smells delicious, says the swooniest things, and his arms still feel like home.



She promised herself she’d never give him a second chance.



But is it a second chance if she never stopped loving him?
