Lake Heart by Cristina Lollabrigida

Sometimes your true dream is the one you leave behind.

When Jackson Lake’s pro football career comes to an abrupt end, he realizes his true dream was Aubry Chase, the girl he left behind.
Aubry Chase’s biggest mistake was falling in love with her brother’s best friend.
Jackson Lake is the only man Aubry Chase ever loved. He broke her heart when he left to pursue his dreams. When a career-ending injury has Jackson returning to his hometown, sparks fly as the two lock eyes at the county fair.
After years apart, Jackson and Aubry fight the fear of getting burned again. They relive moments of their past as they rekindle their romance, trying to avoid the pitfalls of self-doubt and blame so they can build their dream future together.
