“I’m fine.” Sophie winced. “But don’t expect me to make conversation.”
“Don’t be antisocial.” Laura hugged Sophie’s narrow waist. “I know he’d love to catch up. He’s always asking about you.”
Sophie pushed out of her cousin’s embrace. She knew Laura meant well, but Jack’s opinion of her hadn’t meant anything for a very long time. “Well, he can just keep on asking. I’m not walking down memory lane with that jerk anytime soon.” She thrust a hand towards her mother. “Please just give me my bags.”
Frowning, Angelica opened the trunk with a click of a button and handed her daughter a hefty duffle bag and a wheeled suitcase. As Sophie lifted the sliver handle free from the luggage case and turned on her heel, she collided with a damp, rigid wall of masculine muscles. Recoiling in horror, she stumbled backwards until the heels of her boots hit the side of her suitcase. As she wobbled, a solid arm slid around her waist, keeping her upright.
“Whoa, there. I’ve had women fall for me before, but not usually this quickly.”
The smooth male voice dragged Sophie’s attention to a familiar gaze. Jack’s cool blue eyes, like the winter sky at dawn, held her captive. The memory of a gentle, secret kiss beneath the shelter of a weeping willow played across her mind, until the beat of his pulse shook her to her senses.
“Hey there, Soph.”
Embarrassed that she’d allowed herself to linger in his embrace, Sophie swiftly withdrew. His hand stayed on her hip, emanating an unsettling but strangely pleasurable tingling, so she smacked it away. “I can stand by myself, Jackson.”
“Just trying to help, Soph.” His stubborn square jaw tightened around the words.
BLURB:
He’s found a new home with her family while his own holds secrets to her past…This heart-wrenching 300+ page rural romance novel will have you gasping and keep you guessing as mysteries unravel, and as Jack and Sophie discover whether their love for one another can survive the deepest of wounds and darkest of betrayals.
Had it not been for her cousin’s wedding, Sophie Wendall would never have returned to Bitterbark Creek—her aunt and uncle’s idyllic farm-stay on the outskirts of town. Twenty years ago, tragedy stole everything from her including her memory, leaving only secrets and lies. Now that she’s back, there are just two things on her mind: to find out the truth of what really happened to her that day at the dam and to steer clear of the wicked Garland family and their charismatic son—the boy who broke her heart.
Jackson Garland is one of the few people who know what really happened to Sophie all those years ago, but he’s terrified of sharing the truth. To do so would jeopardize his happy sanctuary and newfound home at Bitterbark Creek. Upon reconnecting with Sophie, he realizes that while her extended family may have accepted him as one of their own, she’s going to take a little more convincing. Although he tries to charm and distract her to keep his secrets safe, it isn’t long before he’s at risk of falling under her own tantalizing spell.
As children, their love for one another kept them close until a car accident took one life and hatred tried to steal another. But dark truths can’t be hidden forever when ghosts from the past step into the light. Might the revelations be too daunting for them to handle? Or will Jack and Sophie finally put aside their family history and let love guide them into a future together?
