Blurb
Teenage love is a road fraught with heartache and Jennifer Defoe was no exception. Hers is an unrequited love for a boy who thought her a friend. When he left for the Navy, Jennifer gave up on her future and any hope of love.
Michael Harrison left Mercy Ridge with grand plans of travel and adventure only to have it come crashing down upon him after a tragic accident leaves him scarred. He flees back to the only home he has ever known for the chance to heal.
Jennifer Defoe hurts from a future that never was. Michael Harrison hurts from a past that he gave up. What happens when the fear of being close to someone collides with the fear of being hurt again? And can either of them overlook the past long enough to envision a future with each other?
Review
Jennifer and Mike were friends but they were secretly in love with one another back in high school. He left for the Navy while she stayed home in the little town of Mercy Ridge. He returned after several years and they meet up again after she has car trouble. He’s living with a secret and she’s a reporter, determined to find out the truth. What she learns, however, wasn’t what she expected.
This sweet story focuses on second chances and a love that never died. I really enjoyed watching Jen and Mike come to terms with their past, work through his emotional problems, and look forward to a future together.
Story flowed smoothly with no typos that I noticed. I like JW’s writing style and I look forward to reading more of the author’s work.
