It Had to Be You

Encore Edition

By: Irene Hannon

Narrated by: Thérèse Plummer

Twelve years ago, he left her standing at the altar. Now he’s back, asking for a second chance.

Maggie Fitzgerald and Jake West had a beautiful future planned—until he walked out on her five weeks before their wedding.

Years have passed, and now Maggie owns a B&B on the Maine coast. Though she’s never forgotten Jake, she’s created a new life far from her Midwest roots. And if loneliness and what-ifs sometimes bubble to the surface, they’re a small price to pay for her otherwise placid and happy existence.

Jake has gone on with his life too, including a long tenure in the navy. Now he’s charting a new course—one that unexpectedly puts him on a collision course with the woman who once stole his heart. Their unplanned reunion not only shakes the foundation of his world, it makes him rethink his solo existence.

Though Maggie begins to fall for Jake all over again, letting him back into her life would require a huge leap of faith—and is a second chance at love really worth the risk?

Great to read about a couple who grew up through tough choices and life challenges to forgiveness and forever.

one thing I did not appreciate about this book was the fact of how Jake kept insisting on his way. when she would say no, he just kept pushing until he got his way. He didn't care about her response. I did not care for his verbal actions.
