Forgiving History
Jenni M. Rose · Freehope #1
He left at eighteen and never looked back — until he discovers she raised his daughter alone for twelve years.
Description
It was only a matter of time. She knew he’d come back someday. She’d just hoped he wouldn’t look so annoyingly dreamy when he did. Andy Walker has spent twelve years raising her daughter on her own and working to restore her once perfect reputation. All she wants is stability and for the past to stay in the past. When her ex, the boy that walked out on her more than a decade ago shows up, she knows that all her carefully buried secrets stand to be uncovered. Owen Monroe left home at eighteen and tried not to look back. Though the memories of the girl he’d planned to spend his life with haunted him, he swore he’d never forgive her. Until, that is, he finds out the truth about what really tore them apart. Oh, and that she had his baby all those years ago. His daughter, Jenna. Now it’s up to him to earn her trust back and he’s willing to go to any lengths to do it. This is a full-length SECOND CHANCE novel with an HEA, featuring a SECRET BABY!
