Forever Valentine Jea Hawkins

First loves are never forgotten. In the case of Maggie Hartman, her first love isn't forgiven, either. Seven years have passed since Taylor left their small town and Maggie for the glamour of Hollywood... and to marry up-and-coming rodeo star, Josh Beckett. It took seven years for Taylor Sweet to cement her stardom. She's built her brand on being an expert horse behaviorist and the wife of a famous rodeo rider. But months after their divorce is finalized, she finds herself hungering for time out of the spotlight. Returning to her hometown of Valentine, Nebraska, population 2,803, offers the perfect escape from the messiness of Hollywood. What she discovers she can't escape is the tangled past she shares with the love she left behind. As far as Maggie is concerned, Taylor is there to stir up trouble. The problem is, she's stirring up a lot more than that for Maggie, who is beginning to realize she never got over her feelings for her old friend... Can she learn to forgive, and give free rein to her heart?
