Amazon Description
If there’s one thing Julia Wilson has learned in life, it’s that you can’t push your own dreams to the background for anyone. Newly divorced, Julia returns to the hometown she once swore would never see her again. Her plan is simple; enjoy the cheap rent her friend is offering and stay just long enough to develop a plan to make her own dreams come true.
It doesn't take long before Julia realizes she’s made a big mistake.
Micah Anderson came closer to breaking Julia than anyone else ever had. After promising her forever, he broke her heart the week before she left for college. Now, Julia’s back in town and he’s going to have to tell her the truth about why he left her. It’s not possible to hide a twelve year old child when you live in a town of 5,000 people.
Is following her dreams worth it if it means giving up on a second chance with her first love? Is trying to make a relationship work worth it if his past becomes a threat to her safety?

Book Review
Next time I say I'm going to start a HB Heinzer book before bed after a long day, I will have to think twice. I ended up finishing the whole book. Nope wasn't a happy camper when the alarm went off , but I had to keep reading I needed to know what happened next.
Let me just say I love a book with lies and secrets it makes the romance part so much more juicer! Well this book is no exception, I definitely got my BIG SECRET and LIES! This is Julia and Micah's love story. In the beginning of this book were introduced to Julia's character who is recently divorced and trying to find herself. Unfournately, she had to make a pit stop in her old hometown of brooklyn ( nope not ny) to regroup. Well little does she know her high school sweetheart/ex best friend is still In town, and he needs to make things right between them. The bitterness Julia had towards Micah in the beginning almost made me at times feel sorry for him. I said almost for a reason...I have no sympathy for CHEATERS.
Micah is a single father who for over the last ten years has been miserable in his love life. The reason for this is because of a decision/choice he made years ago to lie/break up with Julia before she left for college. Realizing most people in life don't get a second chance on true love, Micah is determined to to make things right with Julia. Can he still have his happily ever after? There's only one problem, once Julia hears the TRUTH will she be able to still love him and his son?
As Micah/Julia's love story continues to play out, we see Micah may actually be in for the fight of his life. Throw a psycho drug addict ex wife/baby mama , more secrets, and lies/half truths to the equation........umm yes now you see why I didn't go to sleep until I finished this one ( page turner, lol) . I loved Julie/Miach's characters in this book. The growth/life's lessons each of them had endured over the last ten years broke my heart at moments, and had me cheering at other times. I absolutely loved how Julia never gave up on finding herself, and how Micah in the end was understanding..... But don't get me wrong he still fought for his woman (sigh).
I loved the secondary characters in this book, even the psycho ex wife/baby mama. My absolute favorite is caleb, Miach's son. This kid my heart broke for many times in this book. The only form of love from a parent he has ever known was from his father until Julia walk in his life, and shows him how a mother is suppose to love/care for her child( sigh).
I loved this story. This is one of healing, forgiveness and new beginnings! This was my first book by Mrs. Heinzer and it won't be my last. Great job Mrs. Heinzer on the start to a wonderful series.
*** I was provided an ARC for an honest review.***
