Believing It — Betsy Horvath

Welcome to the beginning of a feel good, small town, romance series

Sometimes you just need a second chance to get it right.

June Esperanza has managed to make a pretty darned good life for herself in the little Pennsylvania town of Hardy Falls. True, she'd never intended to stick around this long, but it all worked out for the best, didn't it? After all, she has a job she enjoys, friends she loves, and a place in the community. So it shouldn't matter to her in the slightest that Calvin Hardy has decided to move back home fifteen years after he dumped her on her butt and hit the road. She could care less what he does.

Calvin knew he'd made the biggest mistake of his life almost as soon as he drove away from June, but he also figured she'd never forgive him. How could she when he'd hurt her so badly? He never expected that, years later, he'd find himself divorced from a loveless marriage and coming back to Hardy Falls to help deal with a family crisis. He never thought that once he saw June again, he'd want her more than ever. Now he's determined to convince her to give him another chance. If they can get beyond his mistakes of the past, maybe they can finally have a future--together.

June's not sure it's a good idea to believe anything Calvin says, let alone learn to trust him again. Does she even want to try? One thing's certain--there's no way she'll let him hurt her this time around.

Welcome to Hardy Falls, a little town nestled in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, where love has a way of sneaking in and catching you by surprise--even when you thought you had locked all the doors.
