About this ebook

Love never truly ends… sometimes it just waits to be found again.

Since losing her husband, Cari McKenna has poured her energy into raising her children and building a thriving coffee shop, What’s Perkin’. Now that her children are grown and encouraging her to try internet dating, Cari realizes her world has grown far too quiet—and far too lonely.

When a tree crashes through her roof during a storm, it does more than damage her home—it exposes the emptiness she’s tried so hard to ignore.

Ray Davis never misses his morning stop at What’s Perkin’, and it’s not just the blueberry muffins that keep him coming back. For years, he’s quietly admired the beautiful widow next door, hoping someday she’ll see him as more than a dependable friend.

Helping rebuild Cari’s home gives Ray the perfect excuse to spend more time with her—but just as their friendship begins to deepen into something more, his ex-wife unexpectedly reappears, pretending she wants a second chance.

With danger looming and old ties threatening their future, can Cari risk her heart again—and can Ray finally convince her that love is worth finding twice?

Ratings and reviews

A heartwarming story of a loving and resilient mother finally recognising and understanding the gentle love of a good-natured individual who is there for her family through thick and thin!

This was such a good book, I read it twice. I thought it was a new book but as I was reading, I kept thinking it was familiar. I didn't remember the ending so I stayed with it. This is a great love story.

A book I thoroughly enjoyèd and could relate to as an older person. I enjoy books with the young ones' raunchiness, but could relate to this story so well. Thank you for giving our senior readers a very relateable read. Loved it

About the author

Award-winning author Lucinda Race is a lifelong fan of romantic fiction. As a young girl, she spent hours reading romance novels and getting lost in the hope they represent. While her friends dreamed of becoming doctors and engineers, her dreams were to become a writer--a romance novelist.

As life twisted and turned, she found herself writing nonfiction but longed to turn to her true passion. After developing the storyline for The Loudon Series, it was time to start living her dream. Her fingers practically fly over computer keys as she weaves stories about strong women and the men who love them. 

Lucinda lives with her husband and their two little dogs, a miniature long hair dachshund and a shitzu mix rescue, in the rolling hills of western Massachusetts. When she's not at her day job, she's immersed in her fictional worlds. And if she's not writing romance novels, she's reading everything she can get her hands on. It's too bad her husband doesn't cook, but a very good thing he loves takeout.
