Sometimes the path to happily ever after runs through all the wrong places… **Maggie** Xavier was my first love. My first everything. But he had a habit of running away when I needed him most, so I married someone else. Big. Mistake. Now, I’m back in my small hometown. Romance is not on my agenda. Being a divorced single mom is complicated enough. Then he walks back into my life, wanting a second chance. Well, if he thinks I’m letting him anywhere near my heart again, he’s sadly mistaken… **Xavier** I don’t blame Maggie for hating me. My commitment issues are legendary. Overcoming them seemed impossible. But I never tried harder than I did with Maggie. Now that she’s back—and we’re in forced proximity nearly every day—I want to make things right. Let her know how sorry I am. Take her in my arms (and my bed) and never let her go. I know I don’t deserve her. But I won’t ever stop trying to earn her…
