Preslaysa Williams, author of the āemotionally stirring debutā A Lowcountry Bride (Oprah Daily), returns to the Lowcountry with a heartwarming story about a second chance romance.
It was supposed to be the happiest day of Jaslene Simmonsā life, the day sheād say āI doā to Marcus Clark. But when her sister dies in a tragic accident everything changesāincluding her once rosy future with Marcus. Jaslene instead pours all of her energy into caring for her now-motherless niece and running the wedding planning company she and her sister had built, wanting to honor her sisterās dream even if she has to sacrifice her own.
As an archivist at Charlestonās Black history museum, Marcus shines a light on the stories of forgotten people. Researching history is better than dealing with his own heartacheāand the guilt he has over the role he may have inadvertently played in the death of Jasleneās sister.
Jaslene never thought sheād cross paths with Marcus again, but her need for an affordable office space brings her to the museum which is faced with the threat of closure. As they work together to save it, their buried feelings slowly reignite. They soon realize there is still room in their hearts for love...if only they can overcome their past.
