The prodigal granddaughter has returned

And the love from her past is waiting

Helping her grandmother sell the farm and escaping back to Chicago are all Molly Jansen wants out of this trip—not to reunite with her ex. Single father Jack Behrens will always be the man who broke her heart even if he is the current tenant farmer. But turning Jack and his son out—and not catching feelings for them—might prove more difficult than she realized…

“Years ago Jack broke Molly's heart. Now Molly is back in town and fixing up and selling the farm he loves. After the passing of Molly's Grandpa and one of Jack's closest friends, the farm needs to go on the market. Molly's Grandma is ready to move and needs the home/ farm sold. But Jack loves the farm and can't afford to lose his job as the farm manager. He has a son that is very sick and he needs this income. But Molly's doesn't like being in town, it's mixed with many past sad memories. She wants in and out and doesn't want to stay. It's hard though, as she reconnects with her childhood sweetheart and starts to regain feelings for him as she watches the man/father he's become. But she has no future in that town. And he has nothing to offer her with a sick child, and a job that is about to be undercertain. What's to come of this couple? Can they mend their past? Do they have a future? This is a slow burn. Molly and Jack are both healing and that takes time and doesn't instantly open them up to love and considering loving each other again. But I think you'll enjoy the story as you watch them slowly make room for each other in their lives.. even if it's only temporary.”
“"She feared spending too much time on the walls of this place would inevitably lead to crumbling the walls around her heart. The work of tearing down one would inevitably expose the other." Heading home to Iowa to help Gran fix up and sell the farm, Molly Jansen doesn't want to be there any longer than she has to be. The last thing she expected to find when she arrived was her ex boyfriend, and single dad, Jack Behrens. She tries to fight her attraction to the father and son and focus on her budding career as an architect in Chicago. Jack is right there for her, helping repair the old farmhouse. He's hoping she'll have a change of heart and stick around. However, the pain of the past may be too much for Molly to overcome.... This is a sweet second chance love story. The characters work through some difficult life experiences to realize the true meaning of family and home. My thanks to the author/publisher for the ARC of this book. I was only asked to write an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”
