The Ghosts We Chase: A Second Chance, Small Town, Bad Boy Romance

By Ava Hawthorne

Some ghosts aren't meant to stay buried...

Charlie Hayes finally has everything she wants-a thriving coffee shop in downtown Riverbrook, Vermont, a successful renovation that's the talk of Main Street, and the kind of independence that comes from never trusting anyone but yourself. Then Jake Ryan roars back into town on his infamous Harley, looking even more dangerous than the night he disappeared twelve years ago.

Now he's taking over Iron Horse, the bar that shares a wall with her carefully ordered world. Between heated glances across their shared alley and the way his touch still sets her skin on fire, Charlie's finding it harder to remember why she swore off second chances. Especially when Jake's quiet confidence and dark eyes promise he's not the same boy who left her without a word the night before graduation.

But Jake's return carries more questions than answers. The darkness lurking beneath his careful control suggests he's running from something bigger than just their shared past. And while Charlie's heart might be ready to risk everything on the man he's become, the ghosts that drove him from Riverbrook twelve years ago are circling closer.

This time, they might destroy them both.
