Blurb:
Mabel Muldowney is my best friend’s little sister. Sky-blue eyes. The girl who chased us through fields in pink shoes and dreamed about leaving our small town for the city.
I’m the boy from the farm next door who wasn’t supposed to fall for her.
I loved her anyway. Even when I shouldn’t. Even when I swore I wouldn’t. I buried it—every glance, every urge.
But I slipped–one time–when we were teenagers.
It was raining. We were under a willow tree.
She was ready to give me her heart, but I couldn’t be the guy who reached for his best friend’s sister. So I pulled away and built a life rooted in discipline and distance.
Then my best friend died. And Mabel left for the city.
Now she’s back with nothing but secrets and a suitcase. It’s the second chance I’ve been praying for. But she doesn’t want to stay, and I can’t leave. I’m held to the land by the promise I made to her brother as he took his final breath.
Mabel thinks I’ve spent my life ignoring her. What she doesn’t know is she’s all I’ve ever seen. I’ve got eight weeks to show her this town could be home again. Eight weeks to prove my love.
I don’t plan on wasting a second.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
I adored Cal and Mabel’s story! Stoic, serious Cal has spent years trying to keep his feelings for Mabel under wraps, and Mabel has felt like she’s never fit in, both in her family and their small farming town. Following the tragic death of her brother, Jamie, Mabel set out to chase her dreams in New York City… but when the new life she’s built for herself comes crashing down, Mabel returns home to face her past. And Cal isn’t about to give up his second chance with the girl who’s always held his heart.
This book was one that had me up reading late into the night, needing to find out what happened next. I loved the layers that both these characters had, and how past hurts, insecurities, secrets, and promises impact who they are now. While Mabel is struggling to find her place in a world that she feels has no use for her, Cal is struggling under the weight of expectations. I loved seeing these two work through things and come together.
I am adding this book to my reread-again shelf! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
