Wild Chance by Kendra Mei Chailyn

After a hard life, Aedan Callahan left Baltimore and the only place he’d ever found peace-Pat’s Pub. Years later, war scarred and bruised, he limps back home, hoping to find at least one place that stayed the same in his absence. But though most things have changed, Aedan’s longing is the same – All he craves, is a place to belong.
Mona Lisa Frye has had to give up a life in New York to start over in Baltimore. Now, an art teacher and part-time artist, she is settled into her life and ready to start over. When she lays eyes on Aedan, she’s instantly smitten.
Though Aedan’s demons are strong, they’ve never met the likes of Mona Lisa before. And Aedan will have to put himself out there on a Wild Chance.
