Taking Chances — Amy O'Neill

Dane Gunther walked away from Myra four years ago. She was a single mom with a son and being together meant taking her away from her family to follow his career 2,000 miles away. Back then he didn't think it was fair to take them away from everyone she knew and he wasn't sure he had what it took to be the man she needed. Myra Patterson was devastated when Dane left without the decency of a reason. She's moved on with life and has been able to push him into the 'friend zone'. That's easier said than done when suddenly he isn't just an old friend online. Faced with the real thing in front of her, Myra's buried feelings come screaming back.

While trying to help with the family business and deal with a strained relationship with his mother, Dane's real focus is proving to Myra he is the man she always wanted him to be. But even if he gets his chance, will Myra believe in him long enough to open her heart again? TAKING CHANCES is the first book in the SMALL TOWN series.
