Reckoning in Laurel Valley. Laurel Valley

Some loves are worth a second chance. Some men are worth the risk. Mia Russo is about to discover if her heart is brave enough for both. Former cop Mia Russo built a new life in the charming mountain town of Laurel Valley, Idaho-far from the dangerous undercover work that nearly destroyed her. Running her pawn shop in the picturesque resort town, she's finally found peace. Until the day Zeke McBride walks back into her world.
Three years ago, Mia left the man she loved because he couldn't choose her over his badge. Now DEA Agent Zeke is in Laurel Valley on assignment, and the protective hero who once broke her heart is determined to prove he's changed. But with danger closing in and secrets threatening everything she's built, Mia must decide if she can trust him with her heart one more time. As autumn snow begins to fall over the valley and the case that brought Zeke to town reaches its dangerous conclusion, he makes her a promise: this time, he's choosing her.
This time, he's fighting for forever. All Mia has to do is be brave enough to believe him. Because some second chances are worth every risk-especially when they lead to the happily-ever-after both of them have been searching for. A sweet, clean small town romance filled with hope, healing, and a love strong enough to overcome the past. Perfect for readers who love Hallmark-style stories with strong heroines, swoon-worthy heroes, and faith in true love.
