his new wife. She is just beginning to live again when in walks Ian. Ian Kelly

kids. As he begins to explore his attraction to Mackenzie he realizes that
there’s something missing from his life, love. As Mackenzie and Ian begin to get
comfortable with the idea of falling in love, Ryan decides that he’s had enough
of L.A. and returns to Cheri Village unexpected and unannounced. Ian has to

married and becoming a father.
The supporting characters help the main characters see reason and serve as a
sounding board for their feelings. The setting of the story is Cheri Village,
Vermont. The story line moves well. If you are a jazz lover then you will really
enjoy the detailed music sections. The dialogue is keeps the reader interested
in the story.
I would recommend this novel. It reminds you not to let one bad relationship
deter you from falling in love again. Devon Vaughn Archer encourages you to
place your heart on the line in order to find true happiness.
