Blurb:
One year after her husband is killed
in action, Julie Ellis is back in her hometown and focused on raising her young
son. Then Reagan Harrison bursts into her life—a cocky, charming linebacker who
leaves her off balance.
As a successful, professional
athlete, Reagan believes he has it all. But after meeting Julie, he finds every
excuse in the book to spend time with her. Despite his best efforts not to fall
too hard, Reagan envisions a future with Julie, along with the little boy he’s
come to love as his own.
While Reagan’s protective love
begins to mend Julie’s spirit, she can’t suppress her continued deep devotion
to her late husband’s memory. And when a letter arrives from beyond the grave,
Reagan resolves to provide her with the answers she desperately needs to heal.
Now Julie must choose either to keep her heart closed off or remove the lock
and fight for a future with Reagan. Can a second chance at true love be just as
sweet?
Excerpt:
“Thanks for understanding me.” Julie softly kissed his cheek. The rough stubble tickled her lips. “Even when I don’t understand myself.” She went to sit in her chair to finish her cup of coffee.
At that moment, she noticed the kitchen. What an unbelievable mess! Who’d actually cooked breakfast…a class of rowdy five-year-olds? She gave Reagan a sideways glance, to see him moving the last piece of waffle around his plate, collecting any remaining egg and syrup. “Did you use every bowl I own?”
He was the messiest cook she’d ever seen. A huge pile of dirty dishes sat on the counter, covered in dried waffle batter and egg. Bits of syrup-laden crumbs dotted the kitchen floor, like a sticky breadcrumb trail.
His smile held no hint of guilt, and he shrugged. “Nobody’s perfect.”
No, not perfect—but he was pretty darn close.
