A #1 Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller.
New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown brings together two
wounded hearts in a Texas romance of second chances and
twice-in-a-lifetime true love.
Inheriting the Magnolia Inn, a Victorian home nestled in the East Texas
pines, is a fantasy come true for Jolene Broussard. After living with
the guilt of failing to rescue her self-destructive mother, Jolene knows
her aunt and uncle's B&B is the perfect jump start for a new life and a
comforting place to call home. There's just one hitch: stubborn and
moody carpenter Tucker Malone. He's got a half interest in the Magnolia
Inn, and he's planting his dusty cowboy boots squarely in the middle of
her dream.
Ever since his wife's death, Tucker's own guilt and demons have left him
as guarded as Jolene. The last thing he expects is for his new partner
to stir something inside him he thought was gone forever. And as wary as
Jolene is, she may have found a kindred spirit--someone she can help,
and someone she can hold on to.
Restoring the Magnolia Inn is the first step toward restoring their
hearts. Will they be able to let go of the past and trust each other to
do it together?
