She left him brokenhearted. Now, she’s the one thing standing between him and a fortune…

Michael Bainbridge never got over June Cowan. Six years ago, she walked away, taking a piece of his heart with her. Now, thanks to his late grandfather’s will, he’s back in town—with an ultimatum. Secure a long-term lease on a prized commercial property in four months, or lose the inheritance. Easy enough—until he discovers his tenant is June.

June has fought for everything she has: her son, her café, and the community she’s built at Hoof ’n Woof, a cozy coffee shop and pet bakery where locals gather with their dogs. The last thing she needs is Michael storming back into her life with legal papers and old wounds. But when forced proximity turns into late-night conversations and shared memories, the walls between them start to crumble.

Michael is determined to win the inheritance, but the more time he spends with June and her son, the more he realizes—he’d rather win her.

But June has changed… and trusting Michael again might cost her more than just her heart.

📖 Perfect for fans of:
✔️ Second chance romance with emotional depth
✔️ Secret child and single mom romance

Can Michael prove to June that this time, love is worth the risk? Or will old scars and new fears keep them apart for good?

💖 A heartfelt, sweet romance full of love, redemption, and the power of second chances.
