title: Taking a Chance
author: Petersen, J.L.
description: Baylee Johnson is unfortunately all too familiar with loss. After losing her first love to cancer and then her parents shortly thereafter, Baylee closed the door to her heart and threw away the key. Now as she sips champagne at her friend’s wedding reception, the groom’s annoying best friend, Adam Kincaid, will not stop pestering her. Thankfully, he lives halfway across the country. But little does she know that she will be seeing a lot more of him—and soon.
  
  Adam is excited to be moving back to his hometown of Denver, even more so now that he is developing feelings for Baylee. Usually he does not have to work hard to gain the attention of the opposite sex, but a prickly Baylee is proving to be his biggest challenge yet. But just as he is doing everything in his power to connect with her, a nemesis from his best friend’s past reemerges to create problems not only for his friend,
  but Baylee as well. Now Baylee must decide if she can overcome her fears and trust Adam enough to take a chance with him—and love.
  
  In this contemporary romance, a broken-hearted young woman must reconcile her past before she can have a future with the one man with the power to release her heart from its prison.
