Welcome Home: A Short Story (Ebook)
Melissa Cate
Seven years ago, Danielle divorced Joshua without any real explanation.
Since then, she has made strides to move forward and take care of herself in all the ways that matter to her. She's developed a healthy attitude toward food, changed her hair and nickname, earned a master's degree, and began work as a hospice social worker.
Joshua, however, has remained in his role as P.E. teacher at the same school and visits the same businesses he did when they were married, hoping that maybe she'll someday look for him.
They meet again on a blind date and discover that the spark between them is still there. Reconciliation is on both their minds, but first, they need to resolve not only their past, as Danielle shares her reason for leaving, but also their potential future, as Joshua shares that some parts of his life have actually changed.
Can they see beyond the pain of the past and into a new future together?

Review
“This was a delightful short story, packing a punch—full of character development and twists and turns. Don't let the length of this story lead you to believe that the characters will be fluffy or the romance rushed. This is a fabulous second chance romance story, which gives credibility to the pacing of the romance.” —Amazon reviewer
