If I had known that night that being in my life would put her in danger, I never would have asked her to dance.For years, I’d danced around this flirtation with Bailey. We both knew it would eventually lead to that big, white chapel, overwhelming love, and a lifetime together that would rival any tragic love story.
If it weren’t for that dance.
That was the night everything changed.
I’d been planning this night with Bailey since I was in third grade when I rescued her from the monkey bars.
Ever since then, she was mine.
She knew it. My family knew it. Hell, the entire town had been waiting for the moment I would finally make my move.
Apparently, so was someone else.
But there was no joy where he was concerned, only a need for revenge that would destroy any happiness the two of us shared, along with anyone in my family.
No matter how hard I tried, there was no way out.
Her life was in danger, and it was all because of me. And that was something I just couldn’t tolerate.
She was the love of my life, but keeping her alive was more important than winning her in the end.
Cat gives this book 5 Meows with a 3 purr heat index...
This is book one of a new series and should be read after Parker and GoodKnight in the Reed Security series however you don't have to, it just would help to understand some characters that show up better. The beginning was a bit slow, and I felt slightly lost just at first. The Parker family is tied to Parker in the Reed Security series and I might've understood a few things better.
I've been eagerly awaiting this new series and though it's not anything like OPS... yet anyways....it was just as good as I Hoped.
Here are a few things I loved and not in any order.
The story has a family feud (kind of Hatfield and McCoy though we never get the entire backstreet of why Austin hates the Parker's particularly Jeff and why John (Austin and Wyatt's dad) is the way he is)
I love how this and a few other things drop hints to possible new ongoing plots.
Where this is a complete book with a very cute Happy Ever After (I hope anyways) it also sets up plots and characters I look forward to and hope we get their stories)
This one is a romance and a very good one.
It is also the suspense I love about Guilia Lagomarsino's books plus there is mystery as well.
It has a bit of humor as well.
It has lots of amazing characters
It has a strong female main character.
It has a sexy, protective, hot, sweet, main Male lead character (and so many more of those)
There are several characters (Antagonists to dislike but also hope they get stories too (Austin, Wyatt, even Clay) and who on earth was Bailey's mom talking about was her first love? Is there a story there? * Nudges author and begs sweetly*
Theres lots more like how well the steamy scenes are done and actually adds to the story and blends and isn't just there for the heat.
And the ending...oh my goodness I never saw that coming and I laughed at loud while I swooped.
So, if you like small town romance, sort of cowboys (Ranchers) childhood sweethearts, second chance, romance, suspense, mystery, with some heat this is definitely for you.

“So, Liam, what took you so long to ask me to dance?”
“Can’t a man have any secrets?”
“Not in this town,” she chuckled.
My eyes left hers for only a moment, but it was long enough to see the entire bar staring at us. “Alright, fair enough.”
“You know, I’ve had a crush on you since you helped me off the monkey bars in second grade.”
“Third,” I corrected. “You climbed up there in that pink dress, determined to be just like the boys.”
“You remembered.”
If she only knew how much I watched her. “There’s not much I don’t remember about you, Bailey Bennett. I’ve had my eye on you since I saw those cute little hearts on your underwear.”
“Liam!” she laughed, attempting to smack my chest with the hand I was holding. “You weren’t supposed to look! You promised!”

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
