Old Scars Are No Match For a Second Chance at Love

Widow Hilary Larkin must fulfill her late husband's dream of opening a bed-and-breakfast adjacent to an old orchard. The small farms conference in the Minnesota Northwoods is supposed to be the boost to make it possible. But her fear of change turns to high anxiety when her sister-in-law misses the plane for their trip together after a family crisis.

Along comes Dane Porter, lavender farmer and guest speaker at the conference, and talk soon turns to more than just farming. Even though he locked up his heart after his ex-wife betrayed him, he's drawn to the beautiful and complicated Hilary. But the ring on her finger sets a boundary he would never cross.

Falling head over boots for Hilary, Dane still worries putting his trust in another woman could lead to heartbreak. And Hilary has her own shadows from the past, ones her meddling sister-in-law might use to ruin Hilary's chance of finding love again.

Will two people from different worlds overcome their pain for the perfect second chance?
 
My Review: 4 Stars
 
I feel like I could just jump right into this cover and walk these lavender fields--gorgeous! There's something so comforting about a deserving couple finding a second chance at love and what better place to find it than at a farming convention in Minnesota.
 
Hilary is a widow and Dane is a broken-hearted man, yet their easy, casual, and gradual relationship brings as much solace to the soul as a bowl of bubbling tomato soup with a hot and melty grilled cheese sandwich to dip in it. This is the type of small town, heartwarming, Hallmarky romance that speaks to the heart and makes me feel like there's not a care in the world.
 
This story is a great new start to a series that has me interested in returning to. Even old scars can heal and I can't wait to see what's in store in Book 2.
