2020 Oklahoma Romance Writers’ Guild Heart Award Finalist

They say you can’t go home again. But that’s just what Ethan Everly had to do. He’d left Rainbow Ridge fifteen years earlier. Not by choice; it was because of her. Melody Walker: his high school girlfriend, his soulmate, his everything.

But fellow high school rock band-mate Lennie Hartman crushed that dream in one thoughtless act of violation. Even though Lennie was gone, victim of an alcohol-induced car crash, Melody decided to keep the baby—her baby. Ethan had to leave, unable to give up dreams for college and his career—not even for her.

It took his mom's passing fifteen years later to bring him back to Rainbow Ridge. He never expected the bed and breakfast inn he chose online was Melody's.

He was back in her town, in her home, in her life. In her heart? That was still the question.

Melody was a young single mother with a teen-aged daughter, struggling to make a go of her B & B inn. When Ethan Everly walked out of her life fifteen years before, Melody never expected to see him again. But there he was, back in Rainbow Ridge.

Will their struggle to let go of the past give them any room for a future together? Will Ethan Everly finally return to Rainbow Ridge—for good?

The question is, where will their reunion lead them? Is there a happily-ever-after in Grace’s future? If so, will it be with Greg? And what about her father’s secrets? Will they ruin everything for Grace?

Maybe she needs a new Rule: don’t pass up true love when you find it. Is Greg the one? Or will Rule Number One keep them apart forever?
