Max’s Redemption by L. Wilder

Sometimes a goodbye turns into a second chance.

Max: Harper Campbell was beautiful, smart, and innocent.
I’d loved her even before I knew I did.
There was just one problem. She was my best friend’s sister.
She was off-limits in ways I couldn’t begin to explain, but I couldn’t help myself.
We were just kids when we fell in love—young and carefree. The world was right there at our fingertips. Then tragedy struck, and I felt I was to blame. Knowing I would be a constant reminder of the heartbreak I’d caused, I did the only thing I thought I could—I left.

Harper: I’d loved him for as long as I could remember, and losing him almost broke me.
I tried to move on.
I tried to forget.
But how do you forget the one person you love with all your heart and soul?
I never thought I’d see him again, but with one unexpected encounter, he was back.
I never believed in second chances. I’d always thought there was no way to go back and fix the mistakes we’d made, but I learned that it wasn’t about changing the past. Second chances are for proving that we can be better—even after we’ve failed.
