Bad idea.His butchered haircut wasn’t entirely my fault, but now I’m questioning my decision to move back to my small hometown.After years of working in the city and getting nowhere, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to buy my own salon. All I have to do is prove to the current owner that I'm committed to the salon and Cottonwood Falls. Also located in Cottonwood Falls? Rhett Griffen, the one who broke my heart beyond repair all those years ago.Rhett is hot as sin, and he knows it. Unfortunately, so does every other female in town. And while I was reeling from our breakup and working on my career, he was having the time of his life and not spending a second thinking about me.But it’s been over a decade since then. I won’t let the playboy who turned my heart to stone be the one who keeps my dreams from coming true.Even if he looks better than he did all those years ago.Even if he’s determined to make it up to me and coaches his niece’s little league team like he has a secret heart of gold.So I'll focus on my career and stay away from my first love, because second chances are only for the people who don't remember how much it hurt the first time around.Hello Heartbreaker is a second chance romance with a reformed player, a determined curvy heroine, and enough spice to fill the whole cabinet ;). less
