    About this audiobook

    Years after becoming a young widow, Courtney Handwick is finally on solid ground. Her bar, The Pink Iguana Saloon, isn’t exactly a jumping hotspot, but it’s enough to make ends meet and feed her daughter. Working side by side with her sister in law Crystal and raising her daughter with help from her mother in law Mrs. Violet, it almost feels like she’s got things under control. Until Rory Davidson comes back to her small New Mexico town. Rory is here to attend the memorial celebration for Courtney’s husband, but he’s also come home to remind Courtney of the person she used to be, and the feelings they used to have. Torn between the life she’s built in her small town and the globetrotting one Rory talks about, Courtney has to finally face the past to move forward.
