Sheriff Savannah “Savvy” Douglas fell in love with a bad boy who walked out of her life. Ten years did little to dull the feelings she had for him. But a year ago he stopped calling and texting, leaving her with nothing but questions.He was the high school bad boy… and the boy she fell in love with.
Dr. Brody Collins was about to return to the town he grew up in… and the town where the love of his life still resided. He’d broken all communications with her for a year when his past caught up with him. But he was ready to rectify the situation.
Will Savvy forgive him and give them the chance they’d lost out on ten years ago?

Excerpt:
A
small smile crossed his face though it never reached his eyes. “I can explain.”
“Explain
what, Brody?” The question came out harsh, even to my own ears, but I plowed
on. “A year. Not a text, phone call, letter, or f*ck you. Nothing. You ditch me
and expect me to be happy to see you.”
“Savvy,”
he began, stepping toward me.
I
shoved him back until he fell onto the same rocker he had been sitting in when
I arrived. “Don’t you dare “Savvy” me. The name is Sheriff Douglas.”
He
held up his hands. “I know you’re upset.”
The
anger that had been simmering became a full-on boil. “F*ck you, Brody. What?
Did you find yourself a woman and couldn’t bring yourself to tell me? Did you
go on a year-long bender after graduation?” I turned my back on him—perhaps the
hardest thing I’d ever done. My heart lurched and tears burned my eyes. I
wouldn’t cry in front of him. I wouldn’t!
“You
are so damn pigheaded, Savannah. But
I can understand why you’re upset. I’ll come back later when you’ve had a
chance to clear your head. Then maybe you’ll listen to me.”
With
that, he sidestepped me and made his way to his SUV. He opened the door and
paused. “I do love you.”
With
a Herculean effort, I managed to hold the tears in until he was out of sight.
Those tears burned a hot path down my cheeks, as I did exactly what I didn’t
want to do.
Cry
a river over him.
I
stood on the porch, facing the lake. The sun shimmered over its surface, but
was a blur to me. The shimmer became diamonds dancing atop the water as the
torrent of tears slowed and finally burned out.
Leaving
me raw…
And
empty.

About
LM:
She live close to the Maryland border in South Central Pennsylvania. Her husband is wonderfully supportive of her in all aspects of her life. She has a son who is currently serving our country in the U.S. Navy. Her daughter is still in school. She’s blessed to have the three of them in her life.
From a young age, she remember burying her nose in a book. A love that her mother and father passed onto her brother and herself. From her passion for reading sprang her love of writing. Her mind is so often full of story ideas from the wildly paranormal to contemporary. She has notebooks lying about with story outlines and character descriptions. A song or TV show can spark an idea which circles her mind until she puts the idea on paper.
When she’s not writing, she enjoys spending time with her family, burying her nose in a book, and watching a vast variety of television shows from crime dramas to 1970’s game to car restoration shows. She even dabbles in crafting. Her favorite craft would be jewelry making. Nothing like creating wearable art.
