First love.
Thirty years apart.
One chance to tell the truth.
Thirty years ago, Alane Smith found her soulmate in Aaron Gritt. They were young, deeply in love, and certain they would get their happily ever after-until life proved they were too young to hold on to it.
Now Alane is back in Springs Falls, a small town nestled in the heart of the Adirondacks, and the love she never forgot is impossible to avoid. Their story resumes where it ended, except time has left its mark. Both Alane and Aaron carry heartbreak, painful deceptions, and secrets that could destroy everything before it even begins again.
Alane never stopped thinking about her first love.
She just never wanted to see him again.
As old feelings resurface and the past collides with the present, Alane must decide whether she's brave enough to tell Aaron the truth-before it's too late to save the love they once shared.
Heartbroken is a deeply emotional, bittersweet first-love, second-chance small-town romance about forgiveness, timing, and the kind of love that never truly fades.
"This second chance romance is heartbreakingly beautiful."
