Publisher's summary

As the daughter of a hoarder, Phoenix Fuller had a tough childhood. So when the handsome, popular Riley Stinson became her boyfriend in high school, she finally felt as though she had something to be proud of. Phoenix was desperate not to lose him - especially once she found out that she was pregnant. Yes, she might have acted a bit obsessive when he broke up with her. But she did not run down the girl he started dating next. Unfortunately there was no way to prove her innocence. Now, after serving her time in prison, Phoenix has been released. All she wants to do is return to Whiskey Creek and get to know her son. But Jacob's father isn't exactly welcoming. Riley doesn't trust Phoenix, and he doesn't want her in Jacob's life. He is, however, ready to find someone to love. And he wants a good mother for his son. He has no idea that he's about to find both.

Brenda Novak never disappoints me. I loved this story best of all in the Whiskey Creek series.

Carly Robins hits it put of the park again.

On to the next in the series...

One of the best story lines I've ever listened to.

This story line was incredibly written. The main character's situation was tragic. The author did a great job of writing the story, and the emotion of the two main characters was superb. For the first time ever, I had tears and my compassion was at a soul level. Wow, well done, Ms Novak.

Loved this so much!

I thoroughly enjoyed this! It was fairly predictable, but it was still a very pleasant, romantic story. So well written, so well narrated. i will be searching for more of Ms Novak’s books to read!

Such a compelling and lovely story

I finally purchase this book on Audible after listening to it several times. I decided that I wanted to have it available to enjoy anytime. There are a lot of interesting angles and messages all wrapped up in a very delicious love story.

Better than the last book Whiskey Creek series

I always liked Riley and was looking forward to his story in this Whiskey Creek series. Young but true love prevails. Loved Phoenix and and her outlook on life. A good read.
