Publisher Description
From a USA TODAY bestselling author with more than three million copies in print, CJ Carmichael is a master of emotional and heartwarming romance with small town charm.
She’s not willing to forgive. He’s unable to forget.
One year ago, Montana cowboy Dylan McLean left the love of his life at the altar and fled town, thinking he was doing the right thing by saving her from a scandal. He’s found success on the rodeo circuit, but his love for Cathleen never faded. Now he’s returned home to clear his name, claim his bride and rebuild his legacy.
Bed-and-breakfast owner Cathleen Shannon has moved on from her broken heart. That is, until Dylan shows up at her house one night asking for help and a second chance. Despite Dylan’s betrayal, she promises to assist with his investigation. She doesn’t want an innocent man to go to jail, but her heart is most definitely off limits.
But Cathleen has forgotten one important fact: Dylan is relentless when he’s going after something he wants. He walked away once, but she won’t let that happen again.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Carmichael (More than a Feeling) launches her Shannon Sisters series with this light and sweet second-chance romance. A year ago, cowboy Dylan McLean was the lead suspect in a murder case and jilted his fianc e, Cathleen Shannon, on their wedding day to avoid dragging her into the scandal. So he knows not to expect a warm welcome upon returning home to Whitefish, Mont., after months away on the rodeo circuit. He's correct: no one in town is happy to see Dylan least of all Cathleen's protective sisters. Cathleen is also far from forgiving him and, in the midst of opening a B&B, she has no time to deal with him no matter how much her heart still responds to the sight of him. But when Cathleen learns that Dylan's stepfather, now the mayor of Whitefish, is abusing Dylan's mom, she and Dylan join forces to topple the mayor off his pedestal. They make a formidable team, and though Carmichael focuses more on the intrigue surrounding the McLean family than on the couple rebuilding their lost love, she still manages to make their reconciliation believable through frank examinations of their feelings. This emotional story gets the series off to a strong start.
