Finish Lines and Forevermores

Welcome to Brighthead, Maine, a coastal town where disaster is never the end of the road.A year ago, Meg Rodriguez escaped from her baby's father with no driver's licence, no money, and no college degree. There is nothing she wouldn't do to give her daughter a better (and safer) life. For the past twelve months Meg has worked hard to make that happen, and hope is on the horizon.Zack Pendleton has finally turned the corner. He's going to graduate from college, and he's even standing as best man in his brother's wedding. White-knuckling his way through sobriety after almost a year, Zack's got a long path ahead, and his past throws a long shadow. He's ready to start over, if only everyone didn't already know the worst about him.When Zack and Meg train together for the second Kelty 5K, everyone says the running will help Zack beat the addiction and give Meg more confidence. The training also draws them closer together, with Zack wanting to protect Meg's daughter and Meg wanting to give Zack every chance at success. He's still struggling, though, and she's afraid to trust. As their past interferes with their future, they may be able to create a beautiful family together…or their romance may become a beautiful disaster.Sometimes we create our own second chances.Maddie Evans is a marathoner and biker. She lives in New England with her family and tropical fish, and she's always thought warm hearts are the perfect antidote to cold winters.
