Years in the Making - Paperback

Sometimes the best love stories are years in the making.

Nellie Woodcroft is living the life she's always wanted. She has a job she loves as a librarian, has been selected to lead a mobile library program in a remote area, and has the best friends a girl could ask for. So what if her dating life has been cursed by the memories of blue eyes and baseball socks from twelve years ago?

Teddy Fletcher is home and finally settled. He likes his job working at Bennett Morgan's dog sanctuary, and he's feeling a bit more like himself after twelve years of running from all-encompassing guilt and grief. So what if he can't stop thinking of her smile, that wild auburn hair and how he broke her heart?

When Nellie and Teddy's mutual friends fall in love, they unexpectedly find themselves back in one another's lives. For Teddy, their passionate reunion ignites hope that he can prove he's still the same guy she fell for, but Nellie is convinced that friendship is the only thing she's open to. After all, she spent years piecing her broken heart back together and Teddy's devastating reasons for leaving won't erase that.

With the help of meddling friends, a reluctant Nellie agrees to let Teddy tag along on her mobile library journey so he can help at a local rescue. For the dogs, she tells herself. In the heart of a middle-of-nowhere town, surrounded by good-hearted, nosy townsfolk, Nellie begins to realize that sometimes chemistry happens whether you want it to or not. Sometimes you can't fight the inevitable.
