Welcome to Litsy!

Lucky Penny is book two in The Hometown series, however it can be read as a stand alone novel. Ten years ago, they were inseparable-until she left for college and he went to prison. Penny Hanson swore she'd never look back. She built a successful photography career, buried the heartbreak, and never breathed a word about the boy who shattered her heart. Because Jesse Rivers wasn't just her first love... he was the secret she promised to take to the grave, and a mistake she could never make again. So when her little sister finds herself in a crisis, Penny drops everything to return to her hometown with one mission: clean up the mess, help her sister, and leave before the past has a chance to touch her. However, things rarely go according to plan. Like him being back in town. But Jesse's not just back-he's renting a room in her sister's house. Penny can't afford to lose control, but as the tension between them simmers with every glance, every memory, every night spent with just a wall between them, one thing becomes clear: the mess she came to fix just got way more complicated. Lucky Penny is a story of unfinished love, unhealed wounds, and the kind of second chance that refuses to stay buried. Raw, emotional, and full of angst, this book is for anyone who's ever wondered what if.
