Publisher Description
Loving her wasn’t what he’d promised…
Hayden Hawkins made a deathbed promise to his brother Ian: Hayden would watch over Ian’s son Nick, and the boy’s mother, Ronni. Despite Hayden’s initial feelings for Ronni, everything changed when she captured—then broke—Ian’s heart. Hayden’s avoided her since.
Now Nick’s in trouble and needs Hayden’s guidance. It’s time to keep his promise. But getting close to Ronni stirs up old emotions, not all of them good. Then there’s the new chemistry they’re both feeling.
The last thing Ronni needs is to get involved with former Marine Hayden, notoriously known as the love ‘em and leave ‘em member of the Hawkins family. Not that he’d want her anyway. Her own husband hadn’t wanted her…the cheating husband she’d intended to divorce before an IED in the Middle East blew up her entire life, trapping her in a prison of the vows he’d broken.
Hayden can’t help but feel for her. She’s not the woman he thought she was. She’s so much more.
She deserves happiness.
But neither of them can see how that’s possible.

I recently “discovered” Ms Gable in book 2 of this series titled A Family to Keep, so I was hoping this one would be just as good. I was not disappointed. It’s a story filled with a complex plot as well as complex characters.
This story centers around Hayden and Ronni. Hayden Hawkins made a promise to his dying 19 year old brother that he would look after the girlfriend, Ronni and son, Nick. Though the Hawkins family love and have embraced their relationship with Nick, Ronni has not been included. They felt he had abandoned Ian when he needed her most. That is, until 13 years later when Ronni calls Hayden for help. Nick has been arrested and the court has suggested a “big brother”. Since Hayden , an ex- Marine , is now a teacher, and not only was close to Ian but also to Ronni in their youth, she feels he will help her with Nick.
It’s a story that will touch your heart. It’s full of family conflicts and obstacles, of moments that you will question yourself wondering what would you do if put in that position. Through Hayden, the author reminds us that life is not black or white , but rather many shades of gray.
It’s interesting how feelings and viewpoints change and a reminder that in the end family support and love, can really redeem us and enrich our lives.
