Synopsis

I may be back in my hometown and down on my luck, but I know better than to fall for Lyric again. Been there. Done that. Have the heartbreak to show for it.

When my business and apartment burn down, there’s only one thing I can do – return to my hometown of Winter Falls with my tail tucked between my legs.

I won’t be here long, though. As soon as the insurance company decides I didn’t start the fire – one little accidental fire to get out of a math test does not make me an arsonist! – and cuts me a check for the damage, I’m out of here.

The people of Winter Falls feel differently. They’re determined I rekindle my romance with my first love, Lyric Alston, and stay forever. Not happening. The man destroyed my heart once, I’m not giving him another chance.

But when I call Lyric out for what he did, he has no clue what I’m talking about. Did I get it wrong? Did I not see what I thought I saw?

Once Lyric realizes I didn’t abandon him, he goes all out to convince me to stay in Winter Falls and give him a second chance. Did he forget I’m not here to stay?

Can My First Love turn into My Forever Love?

This small town second chance romantic comedy features a sassy woman who’s not afraid to speak her mind, a sexy Chief of Police determined to do what’s necessary to win her back, the cutest rescue dog in history, and a whole town full of hippies who think being a busybody is a good thing.

My Forever Love is a standalone novel in the Winter Falls series.

Excerpt

“Did someone report a disturbance?”

Feather, Petal, and Sage scream. “A stripper? Aspen, you’re our favorite bookstore owner ever.”

“Are you high?” Not a good question to ask in Winter Falls. “Never mind. He’s not a stripper. He’s the Chief of Police.”

“Why can’t he be both?” Feather winks at Lyric, and his face darkens to the color of a sun ripened tomato.

I shrug. “I guess he could. What do you say, Chief? You want to strip for us?”

He rallies. Of course, he rallies. So much for witnessing Lyric run away with his tail tucked between his legs. Too bad. The pictures would have been awesome.

“I’m sorry, ladies, but I’m afraid I’m a one woman man.”

“Oh, come on. We promise not to touch, boss,” Sage says.

“I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable at work.” He winks at her. “You know because you’d be harboring impure thoughts about the boss during working hours.”

She licks her lips and lets her eyes roam up and down his body. “Who says I don’t have impure thoughts about the boss now?”

Feather riffles through her purse and digs out a bunch of ones before waving them around. “And we’ll pay you.”

“I’m sorry to inform you the town ordinance forbids me from stripping for you lovely ladies.” Ladies? They’re practically eating him alive with their eyes. Aren’t ladies supposed to be demure?

Everyone looks to Lilac for confirmation. “It’s true. The Chief of Police is not allowed to earn any additional money other than his salary as police chief.”

“This is some bull cocky.” Feather throws her ones down on the floor.
