Book Synopsis

She made the wrong choice before. Will her heart get a chance to choose again?

When Marina Miller jilted George Gainsford in favor of a prosperous landowner, she believed she had secured her future. She soon discovered that she'd traded away her happiness for a large house and a husband who didn't love her.

Years later, George returns to the town of Glenby to take on the role of rector. He finds Marina widowed, and the affection he was certain time had long since buried begins to stir. But he still feels the sting of her rejection, and he is determined to treat Marina as he would any other parishioner, never again making the mistake of loving her.

Left childless and with no provision from her husband when he died, Marina pursues her dream of publishing her novels to provide for herself and her mother even as she faces disapproval from her fellow villagers and rejection from publishers. But when old feelings resurface between her and George, both the rector and the widow find that years of distance are no match for a love that never quite let go.

This sweet, no-spice, small-town Regency romance set in England from a New York Times bestselling author captivates with second chances, revived dreams, and a writer FMC for fans of Julianna Donaldson, Julie Klassen, Jane Austen, Persuasion, and The Other Bennet Sister.
