This Time — Rachel Hauck

Oklahoma rancher Belle Jamison's world is rattled when her best friend announces that Burke Benning, their former classmate and an NFL superstar running back, will be the Master of Ceremonies at their fifteenth class reunion. Twelve years earlier the handsome athlete broke Belle's heart when he deserted her minutes before their wedding ceremony.
Burke's retirement from professional football brings him home to Haskell for good. While a new career is uncertain, he knows it's time to deal with the hurtful actions that led him to abandon Belle at the altar. A mountain of unspoken words looms between them and only by allowing themselves to be guided by the Lord can they overcome the past.
Seeing Burke stirs the embers of love and pain still burning inside Belle. As they rebuild their friendship and rekindle the passion they felt for one another all those years ago, they must both choose to forgive and trust again. But can love heal after such devastation? Enough to make their love last a lifetime?
