---------------------------------------------------
Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
Derek Balfe proposed to Milly O’Shea at twenty.
She turned him down and left to build a career and a future that didn’t include him. Derek had no idea that it wasn’t purely Milly’s decision to decline but rather the influence of a meddling relative.
Now thirty-eight, Derek is a successful hotelier, divorced and parenting two teenagers. His father is retiring soon and has asked Derek to take over the family business. He has a lot going on and to add to it Milly has moved back into town, more distractingly beautiful, shy and delicate than ever—and with a teenage daughter of her own in tow. Milly is close friends with Derek’s sister so he can’t avoid running into her—but he is determined to ice her out.
That is until their daughters meet at school and become inseparable. Derek has to deal with seeing Milly every week, sometimes daily. The more he’s around her the more he realises that deep down she’s still the same girl he fell for all those years ago, and he begins to suspect that there was more to her rejecting his proposal than he’d always believed.
Prudence is a standalone contemporary romance and is inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion.
Tropes &
~Second chance~
~Brooding hero~
~Rejected proposal~
~Best friend’s brother~
~Single parents~
