She's come back to steal his heart.
Ty Jenkins is a good man.
For five long years he's devoted his life to his young daughter, Katie, giving everything
he's got to make sure she won't miss the one thing she can't have--a mother.
When that very woman blows back into town, Ty's world is turned upside down.
He'd do anything to care for Katie, but caring for her gets complicated when he
still has feelings for the woman who abandoned them both.
Jodi Morgan has made a lot of
mistakes in her life, and the biggest one of all was giving up her infant
daughter the day she was born. But now she's back in Big Sur, California,
determined to be there for her girl however she can. What Jodi didn't count on
was the way she feels about Katie's father. Between his devotion to Katie and
his work-honed body, Ty is one hell of an attractive package.
As two parents begin a journey
to do what's best for their child, they rediscover the feelings they once had
for one another. Can Ty trust Jodi not to leave again? Has she come to be part
of Katie's future? Or will she steal his heart?

Ty stood and watched her as she gazed out at the ocean beyond
the railing of the deck. He remembered the first time he’d laid eyes on her
almost six years ago. She’d been standing behind the counter of his aunt’s
coffee shop, all that pale blonde hair piled in a mess on top of her head. Her
cornflower-blue eyes—eyes he knew as well as his own now—sparkled when she
smiled at customers, and he’d felt it immediately. As if a bolt of lightning
had struck him, he’d wanted that girl. He’d wanted that sparkle and glow to be
for him.
And for a brief time, it was.
But now, as he quietly watched her, none of the sparkle was
there anymore. None of the vibrancy that had been so magnetic when they’d known
each other earlier. No, Jodi was different. He could see it in the set of her
shoulders, the way she held her arms so tight against her body. Then she turned
and looked at him, and it was in her eyes. It was breath stealing, the sorrow
he saw there, but he steeled himself against it. Closed himself off and let a
layer of armor wind around his heart and his body. Because no matter how sad
she might be, she was here to upend his life, to try to take the single most
important thing he had, and even if it made her sad for the rest of her life,
he wasn’t about to give her what she wanted.
Katie wasn’t negotiable.
“You came,” she said, giving him a small smile as she turned
more fully, the thin embroidered cotton dress she wore blowing around her
thighs in the breeze.
Her hair was still that same shade of platinum it had always
been—so rare for an adult to be that blonde naturally, but Jodi looked like the
fae out of some Nordic fairy tale, all fair skin, white-blonde hair, and pale
blue eyes. She was tall at five ten, he was taller at six two, and she was
strong—long legs, wide shoulders, narrow hips—but buxom as well, a Viking
warrior princess.
He gave himself a little shake, remembering that if she wasn’t
exactly the enemy now, she sure as hell wasn’t his friend.
“Surely you didn’t expect
me to find out you were in town and just ignore it?”
Emotional second chance love story, not only a romantic love between Ty and Jodi, but also a new relationship between Jodi and their daughter Katie. I found the development of both relationships progressed at a speed that felt realistic. They had issues and feelings to work through and they did it in a way that helped strengthen their bonds as a family. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading others from this series.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
