About this eBook

"A pair of wary, emotionally fragile protagonists, a cast of exceptional secondary characters ... and a multilayered plot that deftly interweaves humor, passion, and a tragedy result in a poignant, heart-wrenching, yet heartwarming story that is laced with love." Library Journal

The last place Lisa Alvarez expected to find herself was babysitting for her ex-sister-in-law's three rambunctious kids. But when Maggie called her up and begged for time alone, something in Lisa made her say yes - for one weekend she'd leave behind the career she'd built and her new fiancé. But Lisa never expected her handsome ex-husband Nick to show up on the doorstep, walking back into her life, and taking over more than the weekend....

Nick can't believe how Lisa has changed over the years - and how she's stayed the same. His heart still races when her eyes catch his, his pulse pounds when she's near. After tragedy pushed them apart, Nick spent eight years rebuilding his life and his soul. Can he risk losing his heart again, for a second chance at true love?

Ratings and reviews

One True Love was the first book I read by author Barbara Freethy. I was twenty - one and my mother had given it to me. So to revisit, Lisa and Nick's journey years later proves how timeless of a read this second chance romance really is. This couple's journey is one of heartbreak, maturity and healing that spans years. One True Love is about finding your voice while listening to your heart. Those skills will eventually lead to the place you belong. Home.

I love this book. I have read it multiple times over the years. I got lucky and got it for free off kobo, and since then she has become one of my favourite authors along with Kristin Huggins and Susan Mallary.

This was a great book I love a happy ending
