Books like One True Love by Barbara Freethy


Lisa Alvarez never imagined that babysitting her ex‑sister‑in‑law’s children would lead to a weekend of reconnection. When Maggie calls for a quiet escape, Lisa drops her career and fiancé to spend time alone with her old love, Nick. Unexpectedly, Nick shows up at Lisa’s door one evening, bringing memories of a past tragedy that once pushed them apart. Eight years later, he watches her change and yet recognize the core of who she was, his heart racing at every glance. As their paths intertwine again, Nick must confront the possibility of losing love for a second time while Lisa grapples with the choice between a promising future and an old flame. The story follows their emotional journey, the complexities of family dynamics, and the question of whether true love can truly be one true love.
