Full Synopsis
When Loretta Simmons returns to Hope, Oklahoma, after a disastrous marriage, she's determined to remain independent for the sake of her daughter. The only thing standing in her way is Deacon Fox—the man she loved and walked away from years ago.

Since Loretta owns the bookstore right next to his current renovation project, Deacon can’t escape the woman who broke his heart. Throw in her adorable little girl and one ridiculously oversized dog, and they're almost a family. Only he can't be that guy—what they had was once in a lifetime.

But love has a funny way of reopening a door you thought was firmly closed . . .

Contains mature themes.

"Allyson does her usual great job as one of my favorite narractors for contemporary romance. Her voice is cheery without being obnoxious and she has a good tonal range that allows her to give voice to male and female characters young and not so young." ---Fangs Wands and Fairy Dust

"Burton’s latest is a smile of a story." ---BookPage
