Catching Her Heart — Carolyne Aarsen

Second Chance Season

When they fell in love that summer, Jess Schroder never knew the secret Naomi Deacon carried away with her. The boy from a troubled home made it clear he wasn't cut out to be a father.

As she gets to know the good, caring man Jess has become, Naomi realizes they both deserve a second chance. Is Jess ready to let Naomi past his defenses? Together they'll embark on a journey to look for the courage they both need this time around.
