Publication Date: August 1, 2018
Bethany Cross was avoiding her hometown like the plague.
It was all due to one person in the population, the one who broke her heart, her ex-boyfriend and high school sweetheart Liam.
When Bethany’s dad dies, and she's left with the pieces of his life, including his popular downtown bar, Crossroads.
She’s forced to return home to the scars of her childhood and her broken heart.
Liam is pissed.
He’s angry that the girl who somehow still held his heart wasn’t there for her dad in his time of need.
When she returns to take care of her father’s homegoing service and possibly close the bar he’s known his entire life.
He realizes that Bethany is more broken than he could have ever known.

Can one homegoing bring home two hearts that have always belonged together?
Danielle's Review
⭐⭐⭐
Bethany & Liam were high school sweethearts with completely different dreams. Although they loved each other, he was content on living his life in their small town, and she was more than eager to hit the road for college in pursuit of a bigger life.
Off she went to med school. Even though Liam swore he loved her, he had to let her go. He couldn't hold her back, so he broke her heart instead.
Now a big city surgeon, she's faced with the most heartbreaking task of all, returning to the place she's spent years trying to avoid to bury her only family, her daddy.
After not receiving the warmest welcome home, she's intent on getting this over with so she can get on with her life, that is until old feelings resurface.
The love between them still sparks, but there's too much past, too much hurt to get past, but Liam is determined and all the while Bethany fights it.
Mix in some small town drama and a hitman and you must may get that happy ending after all!
*This was my first Janae Keyes read. I enjoyed the plot, as second chance romances are kinda my thing. With that being said, I didn't love this one but I did enjoy it though. What turned me off were just a few things...I felt like every other sentence was her saying how much she hated the town and had to get out. Also, she caved way too soon as far as letting Liam back in. Lastly, Liam wasn't remorseful enough, he needed to grovel more for me to really believe he was sorry for dumping her the way he did. :|
