I Love You

After finding out my relationship was a complete lie, I packed up my life and teenage daughter, seeking a fresh start in Tyson's Creek. I planned on focusing on my daughter, making her my number one priority, until I met a stranger determined to derail all my plans. Our first meeting is like a strike of lightning, something that only happens in stories, giving me more than one reason to keep my distance. However, our meddling friends and daughters make that next to impossible.

I knew the moment I laid eyes on Selina Grymes she was the girl I was going to marry. We made plans to grow old together, have children, and live the rest of our lives here in Tyson's Creek. But once we graduated high school, she left town and never returned, taking my heart with her. Selina disappeared for fifteen long years without a word, before suddenly reappearing in town and turning my entire world upside down. I know I should keep my distance and protect my heart from being broken a second time, but all I can think about is making her mine again.

After spending my entire childhood moving wherever the military told us to, I put down roots in Tyson's Creek. My plan was simple—start a business and live a peaceful, fulfilling life with my friends. That is until Seth Williams walked into my yoga studio and turned my world upside down. I swore that I'd never fall in love with a military man, but the more time I spent with him, the more I started to fall. One night, I let my guard down, allowing the walls around my heart to crumble to the ground. After spending one amazing night together, he was shipped off to defend our country.

I've been in love with my brother's best friend Brady Thomas since I was old enough to know what love was. It didn't matter that he was older than me or that my brother would disapprove; there was no changing the way that I felt about him. I planned to keep my feelings a secret, telling myself it was nothing but a silly crush. Then Brady did the unthinkable. He kissed me before leaving without a word. That one kiss changed everything. Instead of getting the happily ever after I dreamed of, I spent months waiting for any hint that our kiss meant something to him.
