The day Brody Duke walked into his daughter Ally’s school and saw Phoebe Stanway, he understood two things. The grown-up version of the girl he’d once adored was going to be hard to resist. Second, she wanted nothing to do with him. As if that wasn’t enough to unsettle him, his ex walked back into town stating she was ready to be a mother to the daughter she’d walked out on. Suddenly, the life he’d created for them was in jeopardy, and Brody had no idea what to do about it. After the hell Phoebe went through last year, she decided it was time to come home to heal with her family in Lyntacky. What she hadn’t expected was running into Brody Duke again so soon. Their breakup had been hard, and this time she was keeping her distance, and her heart safe. The only problem with that was his daughter. Sweet, smart, and argumentative, she was her classes resident troublemaker. Phoebe saw a lot of awkward parent-teacher conferences in her future. Lyntacky was like most small towns. It had its interfering locals and families who could trace their roots back hundreds of years. Where Lyntacky stood out from the rest was their love of Square Dancing and the Duke brothers. Both were trouble. Neither had plans for leaving. BOOKS IN THE SERIES The Moment That Changed Everything The Moment They Can't Forget The Moment She Came Back

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M
