This Time Around - by D Allen (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

He left without a word. Now he's living in her spare room.

Two years ago, Erin Palmer fell hard-and fast-for Van Bradley during one perfect weekend at the Canal Days Festival. He promised to call. He didn't.

Now Van's back in Fairport, renting a room in Erin's house, and acting like it's no big deal. But with every shared kitchen moment, late-night run-in, and half-finished conversation, it's clear their story isn't over.

She wants to forget him. He wants to explain. And neither of them is ready for how easy it still is to fall for each other.

A slow-burn, second-chance romance full of sharp banter, soft moments, and the one who almost got away-until now.
