Maddox

Between my badge, my daughter, and my hometown, I've got a busy life. It's a mostly happy one. But late at night, when the house is quiet, I still see her face. McKenna may have left me and this town behind a decade ago, but a century wouldn't be long enough to get over her.

There's only one thing worse than never seeing her again. If she came back, the secret I've been keeping would destroy lives. Mine included. As long as she stays gone, everyone is safe.

When my world catches fire, destroying the dreams I've sacrificed so much for, there's only one place I can think to go. One man I can run to. But going back is no homecoming. Sheriff Maddox Hatley hasn't forgotten me. And he sure hasn't forgiven me either.

He's hiding something beneath all that anger. I'm going to stick around until I find out what it is.

Inspired by Jon Pardi's "Ain't Always the Cowboy" and Lee Brice's "Memory I Don't Mess With," this second-chance, single-dad, forced-proximity love story will tug at your soul, make you laugh and cry, and leave you with a smile on your face.
