Books like The widower's second chance by Jessica Keller

Paige Windom arrives in the sleepy town of Goose Harbor, Michigan, with a fresh start after a painful breakup. She secures a teaching position at the local high school and dreams of joining a mentoring program that supports at‑risk teens living in the nearby city. The program’s founder, Caleb Beck, is a handsome widower who has guarded his heart closely since the loss of his wife. He is reluctant to let Paige become involved, fearing that the work might bring her pain and echo his own past. Recognizing the potential to help the children—and perhaps himself—Paige must earn Caleb’s trust and demonstrate that healing can be possible. Both Paige and Caleb face the challenge of opening their wounded hearts while nurturing the next generation. The story follows their gradual acceptance and the gradual realization that love and community can indeed provide a second chance for healing.
