I never expected to run into Maverick Houston-especially not in the aftermath of grief.My childhood bully. The boy who made school a nightmare. Now he's standing in front of me, looking just as lost as I feel-and unfairly, heartbreakingly handsome.I should walk away.But Ma's voice echoes in my head, reminding me to lead with grace, not grudges. That doesn't explain the electric current between us, the pull I can't seem to fight.One look at Rose Marie Benedict, and the weight of who I used to be nearly brings me to my knees.I hurt her-deeply. And yet, here I am, planting roots in the same small town I once tried to escape. I didn't come to Norina looking for redemption. But maybe it found me anyway.Now I have to prove I've changed. That the man I am today is someone she can trust… maybe even love.But forgiveness is a fragile thing.And even if she gives it, do I deserve her heart?
