For one week in a lakeside town, John has a chance to become someone new.
When a beautiful redhead with blue-green eyes and an incandescent smile catches his attention, he knows two things. He’s too old for her, and he’ll reinvent himself for her if she gives him half a chance.
Tilly isn’t an easy woman and doesn't suffer fools gladly. She’s brilliant, ambitious, and stubborn. So, if John wants a shot at love, he better know what he’s doing. Grizzly bears don't frighten Tilly, so she’s not about to be afraid of a man with scars, unnerving tattoos, and a dark past.
If you enjoyed how John and Tilly stepped up to help Blackman and Maggie through their marital troubles in The Promises We Keep, come and discover how they met and fell in love in John and Tilly.
The first time Blackman Smith sees Maggie Rhymer standing with her friends in a bar she’s too young to be in, he knows she’s everything he’s ever wanted in life, and that terrifies him.
The first time Maggie Rhymer sees Blackman Smith sitting alone and drunk in a bar, she knows he’s trouble. Tall and handsome with moody good looks, he exudes a bone-deep loneliness, which she not only recognizes but understands.
Because Maggie knows what it’s like to be lonely.
After several years and several missed opportunities, Blackman and Maggie get their chance to live their happily ever after until a near tragedy exposes the cracks in their once happy lives.
Now unmoored and adrift, Blackman Smith desperately searches for a way back to his wife, the only woman he has ever loved, even if Maggie believes that letting him go would be best for all of them.
Available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited
