Grace Lander thought her chance at true love had passed her by. At forty-two, she has settled into a quiet routine, convinced that romance belongs to her younger years. Then an unexpected encounter changes everything. A man from her past reappears, bringing with him memories of what might have been and the possibility of what could still be. Grace must decide whether to play it safe or risk her heart again. Her friends encourage her to take the leap, but Grace knows that second chances don't come without complications. Old wounds resurface as she navigates the delicate balance between protecting herself and opening up to love. The choice she makes will determine whether this time will be different, or if some dreams are meant to remain in the past.
