Sometimes all it takes to spark a second chance is one single wish. Especially in this small town…
Magnolia
I’m not the spoiled rich girl I used to be. And if my new business succeeds, I’ll finally be able to prove it.
Too bad my first job is planning a wedding…in my sworn enemy’s barn.
There was a time when I cared about Luke Durham with my whole heart. But that died when he assumed the worst of me.
Now, we’re stuck working together. Failure? Not an option.
But everything would be so much easier if I could forget how good it felt to be loved by Luke instead of hated…
Luke
Running my farm and being a single dad doesn’t leave me much time for grudges.
But for Magnolia James, I might make an exception.
I lost so much because of her. Even my heart. Forgiveness? Not possible.
So, I’ll work with her. But I will keep my mind—and my hands—off her.
Or so I keep telling myself…

“Are we going to talk about the elephant in the room?”
“What elephant is that?” I asked, as if I didn’t know.
He grinned, looking so handsome I felt it in my chest. “That kiss,” was all he said.
“I thought we were discussing barn details.”
Several seconds ticked by as he studied me. I held his gaze for as long as I could, but it was as if he could see into my mind, read my thoughts, which admittedly included something like, God, he’s good-looking.
I looked away first.
“We can talk barn details once we clear up the personal stuff,” he said.
I wish I could say I wasn’t affected by him, but I was. After all these years, after all the bad blood and the anger and resentment, I wasn’t sure how I could feel any kind of attraction to him, but I did. All he had to do was look at me with that intensity, and I felt more drawn to him than I’d felt to anyone else ever.
“We can pretend it never happened,” I said.
Luke shook his head. “It happened, and it set me off-kilter for the past two weeks, Magnolia.” He shook his head like he couldn’t believe it. “It seemed like you felt something too.”
I swallowed, feeling something even now, but it was a physical something. Off-kilter? For two weeks? Was he telling the truth? Why would he lie about that?
He wouldn’t, I knew. His admission was a step into vulnerability. Even when we’d been enemies, I hadn’t thought he was manipulative. Just stupid.
“Whether I felt something or not, chemistry isn’t enough for us to disregard the past and pick up where we left off as if almost twenty years didn’t happen.”
He brushed a lock of hair off my cheek, peering into my eyes, making me feel squirmy. “What if it is?” His voice was a low, sensual rumble that did things to me.

🎧📚AUDIO & eBOOK Review📚🎧
To say that I was brimming with anticipation for Magnolia’s story would probably be an understatement. I knew her story would “hurt” based on what I’d already glimpsed of her in past books, and Amy did not disappoint! Her story is supposed to hurt but also heal and it did everything it was supposed to do beautifully! *heart eyes*
Second chance romances make me happy. There’s nothing quite like a redemption arc when it comes to love. I always get really emotional over them no matter the author. They are also stories that if not done correctly, can tragically fail at all that is supposed to be good about them. This story did not fail one bit!
Magnolia & Duke’s story was full of swoon and also anticipation. There was an air of tension for me while I listened because I honestly just wanted them to bulldoze thru everything and get to that ❤️sweet spot❤️ as fast as possible! I loved these two that much! As the hours ticked by I became more and more invested in them not just fixing the past but creating a future for themselves. Amy has always had this ability to pull me into her stories and make me feel like I’m living the story and not just reading/listening and that’s part of why I love her so much as an author. Her stories are very relatable and organic and true-to-life. She’s fast becoming one of my favorite small-town vibe romance authors because of it.
🎧The DUAL performance by 🎤Ryan West & Erin Mallon🎤 was ridiculously perfect. The only circumstance in their narration that I honestly didn’t enjoy is that the listening speed for them was different. Unfortunately, Ryan had to be sped up but Erin couldn’t be sped up. LOL It drove me crazy at the beginning, but I got used to turning their speeds quickly, so it didn’t take me out of the story for long.
I was able to skim/read this story 2 weeks after I listened to it and that made me all kinds of happy all over again! I wanted to make sure with the whole switching speeds and twitchiness that came with that at times that I didn’t miss a single thing about their story!
Thank you to The Author Agency for providing the ARC of this story and Home Cooked Books for providing the ALC.
