Sometimes fate gives you a second chance...
In a town built for monsters, two broken hearts get one more shot at forever.
Ella: I never wanted to be a successful businesswoman. I wanted to be Mrs. McCloud.
I wanted a house full of little Patricks, a garden, a porch, and a man who looked at me like I was his whole world.
But then Patrick broke my heart and vanished from my life like I never mattered at all.
Now I’m a successful chef, and the last thing I expect is to be lured into a mysterious new town for a business opportunity... only to find him there.
The boy who left me is now a man with secrets in his eyes and a bear shifter curled beneath his skin. He says he wants a second chance.
Too bad I’m still not good at saying no.
PATRICK: After the accident, I thought pushing Ella away was the right thing to do. I wasn’t whole anymore—not a man, not a shifter.
I built Cedar Hollow to prove I could still create something meaningful. But it’s missing one thing: her.
When fate (and a scheming best friend) brings Ella back into my life, I know I only have one shot.
To win her trust. To earn her forgiveness.
And to prove that this time, I’m not going anywhere.
