Until a fateful phone call changed her mind. Within minutes of arriving back in her hometown, Julianna runs a stop sign. And Pace Carter pulls her over.

Julianna knew it would break his heart, especially after events at graduation. But she's not back for Pace. He's moved on. She's there to help care for her elderly aunt. Hartfield is a small town, and avoiding Pace is nearly impossible. She needs to make things right between them. If only she could find the words to explain why she left and why she didn't tell him goodbye. Enjoy this sweet, small town, second chance romance novella.
