forget.--Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author
First love always burns brighter...
Sheriff Eli Garrett is grateful for the good things in this life. Like
his two best friends since childhood. A job that he loves. Enough land
under the big skies of Montana to make a man feel free. And Brynne
Bailey, finally back home in Painted Pony Creek to stay. Brynne was his
high school sweetheart--and the girl he'd betrayed all those years ago.
But now, with a new year right around the corner, it's time to make
amends and see what the future might hold...if she'll let him.
Brynne has one rule for herself: never date another cop. She made that
mistake once before, and her heart still hasn't recovered from losing
the kids she'd started to think of as her own. So she's happy to put the
past behind her and be Eli's friend. Anything else is out of the
question...until one electric kiss changes everything between them. But
when a case blows wide open, putting Eli in danger, Brynne will confront
her biggest fear. Some rules are meant to be broken and some hearts are
worth the risk for a second chance with your first love.
