Just Like Starting Over

Description

Have you ever wanted something that isn’t good for you? I do, right now, and it’s tearing me apart. Sixteen years ago, all my dreams were coming true, then everything fell apart. It’s so much more than a broken heart and a loss of trust. It’s raising a daughter alone, abandoning your old life to make a new one, and being tired all the time. The only bright light is Sierra herself, a wise child who has taught me so much in her fifteen years. She is everything to me. It’s because of Sierra that I take the chance to move back to my hometown of Empire to help Merrie launch her dream, The Carpe Diem Café. I’m sick of avoiding the past and I miss my grandmother. Why should Mike be allowed to take that away from me and from Sierra? Why have I let him? I sure don’t expect him to turn up, looking better than ever - much less acting as if he still cares, pretending he doesn’t know that Sierra is his, wanting to start all over again. It’s a proposition that I know I should refuse, but…it’s Mike. The thing is he’s not the same guy I knew. He’s older and tougher, more direct and a whole lot hotter. He has the money to make all of Sierra’s dreams come true and I can’t compete with that – even though I’m terrified to lose her. It doesn't help that Sierra likes him enough to have launched a Parent Trap matchmaking scheme of her own. Do I dare to trust his promises this time around? Can I let myself fall in love again with the man who has always been my one and only? Or will that just leave me with a shattered heart one more time?
