Sarah Baker was the first girl I ever loved. It didn’t matter that we were high school sweethearts, our bond was unbreakable. Or so I thought.

I enlisted in the military to make a life for us and she promised to wait. Only, she crushed my heart, along with our dreams, when she married someone else.

Every inch of Wilder Valley is etched with memories of her, so I stay away, building a career for more than two decades.

But I can’t stay away forever.

When I return home, nothing is the way I expect it to be. My family has changed, but most surprising is discovering that Sarah is back too.

Separated from her husband, she’s raising her two teenage boys, living with her parents, and waiting tables at the diner.

Curiosity draws me to her, but that’s not what makes me stay. From the moment our eyes meet, the feelings I’d long forgotten come rushing back.

I’ve never loved anyone the way I’ve loved her. Maybe fate has brought us together again for a reason. Maybe finding each other too young was our only mistake. Maybe this is our second chance.

Aiden and Sarah’s book is the next standalone in the Wilder Valley series. This second chance, small town, single parent romance features a couple in their forties reconnecting after almost two decades apart.
