About this ebook

The McBrides are back in this small town romance from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Ryan, and this time there's a new sheriff in Fallbrook!

Jessie Thompson had one hell of a week. Dylan McBride, the boy she loved, skipped town without a word after a magical prom night together. So when her father tried to kill her in a drunken rage, she fled Fallbrook, vowing never to return. Eight years later, her father is dead, and Jessie reluctantly goes home—only to come face-to-face with the man who shattered her heart. A man who, for nearly a decade, believed her to be dead.

Dylan accepted the position as sheriff of Fallbrook looking for a fresh start and a chance to uncover the truth about Jessie’s disappearance. He knew he’d have to face a few ghosts . . . he just never thought one would be Jessie, all grown up, stunning . . . and alive.

The pull between them is instant, but Dylan’s heart has already mourned Jessie, and she has secrets she can never share. Can they escape the darkness of their past for a second chance at a future together?

Ratings and reviews

From Dylan's consistent attempts to win her back, to the men she'd come to think of as family, to Dylan's little boy pointing out the obvious (you'll see!), it's a great story. And while Dylan certainly did everything he could to show Jessie that he'd never leave again, she was smart enough to hold back her own feelings for much longer than I expected. It made sense, given what all she'd lost, but it also did well to avoid one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to romances — everyone falling head over heels too fast. The pace of their relationship was slow, but perfectly so, and it made for a wonderful story of forgiving and falling in love again.

Great storyline. Horribly written. The story is in first person and changes view with out any warning. I feel a little let down with the writing. With better writing, it could have been a great book.

This truly is a heartbreaking and heart healing read. You can fill the pain, anger,love and hope. This book will pull at your heart strings. You will fall in love with Jessie, feel her heart break, cry for her and heal with her. For all you woman out there who are mothers you will need tissues,lots of them
