Maddie and her Broken Second Chance

**Maddie

Seeing Noah, the best friend of my late husband, Mark, standing at my door after 5 years of radio silence stirred a whirlwind of emotions I was not prepared for. **

Noah was a strong presence for me and my daughter after my husband was killed in action. He felt it was his duty and a testament to the friendship he shared with Mark. But then he left without a word.

Now Noah is back and he’s not the same fun-loving man he used to be. Something has changed and yet I feel drawn to him like never before.

Coming back to my hometown to face my demons was inevitable, and seeing Maddie again reignited my yearning for forgiveness and a chance at redemption.

As my heart gravitates closer to Maddie, she sparks something in me that I thought was forever buried in my quilt and shame…my faith.

Now I must tell Maddie the truth, and I’m not sure how she will react once she knows…everything.

This beautiful story about a widow’s heart and a soldier’s guilt intertwine in a tender tale of second chances and the enduring power of love and faith. There is no explicit content or bad language in Maddie and Noah’s happily ever after story. Enjoy!
