They came looking for a fresh start. He never believed in second chances.
Rosalie has never had it easy. Abandoned at birth, raised in Texas foster homes, and left to raise two kids alone after Randall walked out, she fought hard for a better life—only to lose her teaching job when she needed it most. When a mysterious stranger shows up with shocking news—a grandmother she never knew has left her a bed and breakfast in Durden Park—Rosalie packs up her kids and drives straight into a new beginning.
But the Lavender and Roses B&B is falling apart, and so is Rosalie’s plan to fix it'''until Chase Keaton steps in. A man with a broken past and a heart locked behind years of pain, Chase has no intention of getting involved with the woman who’s turned his quiet town upside down. Still, something about Rosalie—and her two very different kids—starts to thaw the walls he’s built.
As repairs unfold and memories resurface, two wounded souls might just discover that family isn’t always the one you're born into—and love can grow in the most unexpected places.
