About The Clover Chapel:
She took a dare and fell in love. Truth would have been the smarter choice.
After years of living under her fatherβs thumb, Emmeline is ready to break free. Sheβs abandoned her life as a New York socialite to follow her dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher in a small, wholesome town. Seeing the man that nearly broke her was absolutely not what she had hoped to find in Prescott, Montana.
Nick hasnβt seen his Emmy in nine years, but that doesnβt mean heβs forgotten a thing about the woman he loves. After just one blissful night as man and wife, he gave her up, sacrificing his own happiness to keep her safeβfar away from him. But the moment she walks back into his lonely life is the moment he decides never to let her go again. He wonβt waste his second chance. All he has to do is win back Emmelineβs heart, keep her safe from the shadows in his past and prove to her that taking a wager on him is a sure bet.

Exclusive Excerpt:
Β
βWhat are you doing here?β
βPicking you up for dinner,β he said.
βItβs only three thirty. I prefer to put at least six hours between meals and I ate lunch at noon.β
βIβm not here to take you now, Emmy. But Iβm giving you a heads-up that Iβll be back at five thirty. Donβt drive home.β
βYou could have texted me all of this,β I said.
βYeah. But then I wouldnβt have been able to do this.β
He crossed the space between us in a millisecond and captured my mouth, wrapping his arms around my waist. His lips pressed roughly against mine as his tongue swept my lower lip. Over and over he stroked until my mouth fell open. When his tongue found mine, I melted. Heat erupted throughout my body and my knees gave out.
When I started to sink to the floor, he stopped kissing me but tightened his grip on my waist.
βIβve got you.β A crooked grin formed on his lips.
I took a moment to steady my legs and stand tall before stepping back a foot. The skin around my mouth was surely pink from the contact with his beard. But at least it would match my flushed cheeks.
βFive thirty,β he said and walked out the door.
Shit.
Thinking clearly was not an option after a Nick kiss but I really needed to pull myself together. Iβd spent last night tossing and turning, replaying all the things Nick had told me these last few months.
Youβve always had my heart, Emmy.
Weβre it for each other.
I thought about you every day for nine years.
And I thought about what my mother had said. That my heart had already forgiven him and I just needed to get my head straight with that concept.
Sinking into my chair, I let my head fall into my hands. βWhat am I going to do?β
I tried to picture what our life could be like. Me happy. Nick and I living a normal life. But every time that image popped in my head, it was immediately followed by the vision of me waking up alone to a note that said he was sorry.
Time was ticking away and I needed to make some decisions. My attorney had emailed me while I was in Italy to say heβd have my divorce papers drafted by the end of the month. Nick was not going to stop inserting himself into my life unless I made it clear we were over.
Were we over?
For nine years, Iβd thought we were. But so much was different now. He was everything that I remembered. Kind. Affectionate. Intelligent.
And stubborn. Every time I tried to push him away, he just pushed back harder. But honestly, I really hadnβt put up much of a fight against his advances.
βTen seconds ago, you let him stick his tongue down your throat with no fight at all, Emmeline,β I mumbled into my hands.
