- Lexi
- left
- the
- only
- town
- that
- she
- had
- ever
- known
- and
- headed
- to
- The
- Big
- Apple.
- Fueled
- by
- heartbreak
- and
- longing,
- she
- headed
- out
- into
- the
- world
- to
- prove
- to
- herself
- that
- she
- wasn’t
- as
- broken
- as
- she
- felt,
- that
- life
- could
- go
- on.Ten
- Years
- Later…With
- four
- year
- old
- Jax
- in
- tow,
- Lexi
- left
- New
- York
- and
- the
- husband
- who
- wanted
- nothing
- to
- do
- with
- them
- and
- headed
- for
- the
- one
- place
- she
- never
- thought
- she
- would
- return;
- home.
- After
- a
- failed
- marriage
- and
- a
- move
- across
- the
- country,
- Lexi
- was
- spent.
- She
- couldn’t
- imagine
- dealing
- with
- another
- thing,
- much
- less
- the
- one
- person
- who
- had
- destroyed
- her
- all
- those
- years
- ago,
- but
- there
- he
- was
- standing
- on
- her
- parents
- driveway.Cole
- Fulton
- had
- been
- the
- love
- of
- her
- life,
- she
- was
- sure
- that
- they
- were
- going
- to
- spend
- the
- rest
- of
- their
- lives
- together,
- just
- as
- soon
- as
- he
- returned
- from
- the
- Army.
- That
- all
- changed
- when
- he
- sent
- her
- a
- letter
- about
- reenlisting.
- She
- had
- written
- back
- in
- anger,
- telling
- him
- that
- she
- wanted
- him
- to
- come
- home.
- She
- knew
- that
- the
- language
- she
- had
- used
- would
- make
- a
- sailor
- blush,
- and
- she
- had
- a
- good
- feeling
- he
- would
- be
- furious,
- but
- she
- never
- in
- a
- million
- years
- thought
- that
- he
- would
- leave
- her.
- But
- he
- did.
- He
- stopped
- responding
- to
- her
- letters,
- he
- stopped
- calling,
- he
- just
- cut
- her
- out
- of
- his
- life
- completely.
- It
- had
- destroyed
- her.
- It
- took
- her
- years
- to
- build
- herself
- back
- up
- and
- even
- then
- there
- was
- a
- piece
- of
- her
- heart
- that
- never
- healed.Sparks
- fly
- when
- Lexi
- finds
- out
- that
- not
- only
- does
- Cole
- live
- here,
- but
- her
- job
- at
- the
- orchard
- will
- leave
- her
- working
- side
- by
- side
- with
- him.
- When
- Lexi
- loses
- her
- temper
- and
- lashes
- out
- at
- her
- parents
- and
- Cole,
- he
- doesn’t
- hesitate
- to
- follow
- her
- and
- teach
- her
- a
- lesson
- in
- respect
- the
- old-fashioned
- way.
- With
- a
- scorched
- bottom,
- Lexi
- finally
- sits
- down
- with
- the
- man
- who

- her
- heart
