When Maia met Joel Sandeford, she thought she'd found a man worth the risk of another broken heart. But she's hesitant. Joel lives out of town and always seems to be working. Maia, too, works long hours and spends most of her time managing The Front Street Gallery. She fears the distance and their work ethics may spell disaster. Both Maia and Joel have assumptions and memories from their pasts that make living fully in the present a challenge. Maia doesn't realize the biggest obstacle to her happily-ever-after may be herself, and the memories she's hiding in her heart--that part of her heart that still belongs to her first true love. If Maia can't resolve her fears or give up those old feelings, then finding her happily-ever-after may become an impossible dream."--Back cover. 20181105. Man-woman relationships Fiction.
