Return to Love — Martha Gross

Bud and Jessie met at a joint high school science fair when they were seventeen. Their eyes met over the beakers; instant love. But young love rarely lasts. They went their separate ways, married, moved away. But they never forgot each other.

Now, thirty-five years later, both widowed and living in the same Ft. Lauderdale condo complex, they meet... and it's instant love all over again. But mature love isn't all moonlight and roses, either! Bud's unhappy marriage has left him wary of women. Jessie, newly independent and enjoying her freedom, isn't sure she wants to take care of a man all over again--even sexy, adorable Bud. Then one of Bud's old flames turns up, and the green monster raises its ugly head. So many problems! But Jessie and Bud aren't going to let anything get in the way of the wonderful, magical love they've kept in their hearts all these years. One way or another, they'll make it. Because they've waited a long time... to love again.
