Synopsis: When former wild child Deirdre McDaniel clears out her childhood home, she comes face-to-face with a lifetime of memories and failures. Once she'd dreamed of making it big, but her high school pregnancy had changed all that. Now co-owner of a B&B, Deirdre struggles to make up for lost time with her daughter, to overcome the demons of her past and to open her guarded heart to Jake—the new man in her life.

But when long-buried secrets return to haunt her, will Jake accept the truth behind the woman he's come to care about more than he'd thought possible…or will he let old wounds destroy the fragile new love they share?


Review: Happiness is. . .reading page after page hoping the book the gets better. And, it does!! 

In the beginning, the story feels trite. The brooding Alpha male. The strong and independent, yet angry, single mom. Hang in there. The author finds her way about halfway through and it this stays strong through the end. 

The plot and even the characters aren't anything you haven't read before, but there are touching moments. Even I teared up a little.
