One Last Risk by Leighton Wren

Clementine Bloom doesn’t take chances. Not with her antique shop. Not with her carefully arranged life. And definitely not with Jude Walker—the boy who almost kissed her once and disappeared without a word. Now, ten years later, Jude is back in Bloom Harbor. He’s inherited his aunt’s flower farm. He’s making amends. And worst of all- he’s smiling like no time has passed at all. Clementine has no plans to forgive him. But fate, the town grapevine, and one very inconvenient heart have other ideas. When a shared summer project throws them together, their buried feelings begin to surface like wildflowers breaking through concrete. As old memories bloom into unexpected tenderness, Clementine faces a choice: retreat to the safety of routine, or risk everything for a second chance at the one person who still makes her heart skip. Poignant, romantic, and full of slow-burn charm, One Last Risk is a clean second-chance romance about healing past wounds, rediscovering joy, and learning that love—real, lasting love—is always worth the leap.
