Fall in love with this small-town love story about a widower sheriff and a divorced schoolteacher searching for second chances — only to be threatened by long-held secrets of the past.
Miles Ryan’s life seemed to end the day his wife was killed in a hit-and-run accident two years ago. As deputy sheriff of New Bern, North Carolina, he not only grieves for her and worries about their young son, Jonah, but longs to bring the unknown driver to justice.
Then Miles meets Sarah Andrews, Jonah’s second-grade teacher. A young woman recovering from a difficult divorce, Sarah moved to New Bern hoping to start over. Tentatively, Miles and Sarah reach out to one another . . . and soon are falling in love.
But what neither realizes is that they are also bound together by a shocking secret, one that will force them to reexamine everything they believe–including their love.

This book is part of my discount collection. I got these from a vendor that sells off publishers’ excess books. They’re in good condition. They just sometimes have stickers, sticker residue, or just aren’t in brand new condition but they haven’t been read yet. The price has been discounted appropriately. This particular copy also has a cheaper used copy. This is the copy that I read myself for review.

Shannon’s Review: I enjoyed reading this book; would read again. The characters felt real and so did the romance. It also had an element of suspense as we learn more details about the hit-and-run. It was well written; I liked the perspectives and emotions depicted. I didn’t cry in this one, which I was fully expecting, but it did make me root for love.
