Enjoy this small town, later in life, romance by award-winning and bestselling author, Lucinda Race. A breathtaking story of love, loss, and the extraordinary courage it takes to open your heart a second time. Arielle Clark thought she had made peace with her solitary life: a successful artist living by the lake with her heart carefully guarded after loss. But when her long-lost first love unexpectedly reappeared in her life following a car accident, everything she thought she knew began to unravel. Thirty years after walking away without as much as a goodbye, architect Simon Baker has driven across the country with one purpose: to see Arielle. Whether to win her back or finally let her go, he's determined to confront the past that has haunted him. Forced into close proximity, Arielle and Simon must face the heart-wrenching truth about what truly happened the summer before college-a truth that could shatter the fragile hope of reconnection and become the foundation of a love powerful enough to heal old wounds. With raw emotion and tender vulnerability, After All These Years explores whether true love can survive the weight of unspoken pain, and if some connections are truly meant to endure-no matter how much time has passed. After All These Years is the seventh novel in the McKenna Family Romance Series, although each book can be read as standalone. It's a second chance romance of love and forgiveness, this romantic story with a guaranteed happily ever after. Happy reading!
