di Layla Kent (Autore)

LK PRESS, 2025

Coming home for Thanksgiving rekindled the spark—but can love be enough to give them a second chance? Brooke Thanksgiving in Maplewood was supposed to be a quick visit, a chance to catch up with family, maybe take a few walks down memory lane. I didn't plan on running into Matt—or feeling that same rush I did back in high school. But he's a different man now, a father, a widower with more weight on his shoulders than I can fully understand. As we try to reconnect, our past tangles with the present, and Matt's kids remind me that he's not just mine to have. Being here with him feels right, but with so much history and heartache between us, can we really make this work? Or am I just setting myself up for another goodbye? Coming back to Maplewood was supposed to be temporary, but the longer I stay, the more I realize that maybe this is where I'm meant to be. With Matt. With his kids. And maybe, if we're willing to face our past and the fears that still stand between us, we can build a future together—a home, a family, a love that's finally ready for a second chance. Matt It's been two years since my wife passed, and life with my teenage kids, Sam and Emma, has settled into a rhythm. But when Brooke, my high school sweetheart, walks back into town, she brings a whirlwind of memories—and feelings—I thought I'd buried for good. The sparks between us are still there, undeniable and unexpected, but Sam and Emma aren't exactly thrilled about me dating again. And with Brooke, it's never just been simple. There's a lot of unfinished business between us, and I have no idea if we're ready to pick up where we left off—or if we even should. With Thanksgiving closing in, I find myself caught between the steady life I've created for Sam and Emma and the spark that Brooke reignites in me. She's part of my past, but there's a pull between us that feels like it could be something more—something lasting. And for Brooke, coming home has stirred up old wounds along with new hope. I can see it in her eyes-- she's wondering, just like I am, if this feeling between us could be real, if it could last. But as we stand on the edge of a second chance, one question hangs in the air: after all these years, do we really have what it takes to make it work?
