About this book
When Maysen opens her dream restaurant in Bozeman, she's ready to finally tackle the bucket list she's been carrying for years—until her past literally walks through the door in the form of Cole Goodman, the man who broke her heart. What starts as an unwelcome reunion becomes an unexpected second chance when Cole insists on helping her check items off her list, forcing them both to confront the feelings they never quite resolved. As they navigate everything from skydiving to ukulele lessons together, the spark between them reignites in ways neither of them anticipated. This is a heartwarming story about unfinished business, second chances, and discovering that sometimes the person who hurt you most might be exactly who you need to help you move forward.
