The Story
Some things are worth a second chance.
When filmmaker Sawyer Horton returns to Magnolia Creek after years away, he plans to keep his visit short. But the town—and the woman who once knew him better than anyone—has other ideas.
Jean Wilcox has built a life rescuing nuisance alligators and keeping Magnolia Creek’s wild side under control. She certainly doesn’t need the man who broke her heart back in town.
But when Miss Eloise decides they belong together, avoiding each other becomes nearly impossible.
As old feelings resurface and a new adventure brings them closer, they’ll have to decide whether the past is something to leave behind—or the beginning of the love story they never finished.
A sweet, closed-door second-chance Southern romance filled with small-town charm, gators, laughter, and a happily-ever-after.
