Second Chance at the Orchard Inn - Includes a Bonus Novella by Jeannie Chin - E-book - ePub

A charming second-chance romance about a big city chef whose return home to help run her family's wedding planning business means reuniting with the man who broke her heart. Chef Aurora Shipley spent years slicing, dicing, and chopping her way up the ladder of L. A.'s competitive restaurant scene, but when her sisters needed her help, she dropped everything to return home to Texas. With her family's Orchard Inn now on its feet, it's time for Aurora to head back to the big city.
At least there, she won't keep running into ex-boyfriend Jude Jones or her high school bully Erica, who now needs Aurora and her wedding planning business to throw the celebration of her dreams. Will Aurora let the past go long enough to send the bride off without a hitch and ignore her traitorous heart urging her to stay and try again with Jude? As a teenager, Jude Jones foolishly listened to his father and let Aurora Shipley slip away.
In the intervening years, the sweet, shy girl grew into a stunning, capable, confident woman, and her reappearance is messing with Jude's focus, which should be on expanding Jones' Family Herbs. He broke Aurora's heart once, and she broke his, too. This time will Jude be strong enough to fight for her-for them-and a future together?
