Kate Walker is in a career slump, and she's brokenhearted after a brief engagement ends. Disillusioned about love, she increasingly finds writing romantic TV scripts a chore, and the lackluster results and rejections by producers reflect this. So she returns home to Maple Valley where she will help her father write his memoirs and figure out her next career move. Staying in town with a friend is Colton Greene, a former NFL player; he, too, is recuperating from a prematurely ended career and a failed romantic relationship. When the two meet, the mutual attraction is strong, but neither can seem to move past their heartache and broken dreams to be open to love again. VERDICT Tagg (Made To Last; Here To Stay) writes heartfelt and humorous gentle romances with a wisp of faith woven throughout. Fans of her previous two books will want this one. And devotees of Rachel Hauck and Robin Lee Hatcher will embrace a promising new author.
Kate Walker used to believe in true love and happily ever after. While her own love life may have left her brokenhearted, it hasn't kept her from churning out made-for-TV romance movie screenplays . . . until a major career slump and a longing to do something meaningful send her running back to her hometown of Maple Valley.
Permanently sidelined by an injury, former NFL quarterback Colton Greene is temporarily hiding out in a friend's hometown to avoid the media and the reminders of all he's lost. Maple Valley seems like the perfect place to learn how to adjust to normal life. The only trouble is he's never really done normal before.
While Kate plays things safe and Colton is all about big risks and grand gestures, they both get what it's like to desperately need direction in life. An unexpected project gives them both a chance to jumpstart their new lives, but old wounds and new dreams are hard to ignore. Starting over wasn't part of the plan, but could it be the best thing that's ever happened to them?
