Maggie Church hasn't been back in her Missouri hometown since she left late at night. But her grandmother's passing brings her back to her childhood home and face to face with the husband she left that night. Canaan Ford broke her heart and she isn't looking forward to facing him again, except to get his signature on divorce papers. But he won't sign her papers unless she stays in town and gives him another chance for one month. She can make it through 30 days with him. He's already broken her once, and she won't make the same mistake twice. 
 I loved Canaan. The man Maggie left is not the same one she returned to. His determination to prove they are not over was the first step towards making me fall in love with him, and his loyalty to that thought through his actions did the trick. He is a changed man, having learned from the mistakes that drove Maggie to leave him the first time. 
 I had a harder time falling in love with Maggie. A lot of the reasons I struggled with her character I can't reveal because of spoilers. When she left town five years earlier, she didn't just leave Canaan, she left everyone she had grown up with. 
 This felt a lot lighter than I imagined with the setup of the first chapter. Though I struggled with the one character, I loved the journey these two travel over the course of the book. They did not have an easy reconciliation. There were demons they had to face together that Maggie had completely ignored in her years away. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
