A small-town brother’s best friend romance

After eight years in the Marines, I’m still looking for the mysterious woman I’ve obsessed over since her first letter. When she shows up in my small town, I’m thrilled. It turns out she’s my brother’s best friend–and the girl he’s always loved– now I’m caught between the two people who matter to me the most.

I’m a Marine which means honor and duty runs deep. Joanna is off-limits. That would be a whole lot easier if she hadn’t already agreed to helping run my brother’s fishing guide business for the summer, forcing me to work side-by-side with the woman I’ve fantasized about for years.

I can keep her at a distance, push her away, man up. But she draws me in without even trying and I can’t get enough of how she makes me feel. I’m stealing moments with her and I know it’s wrong. She may not be my brother’s girlfriend, but I know a landmine when I see one.

Does being an honorable man really mean I have to let her go?

This is the first book by this author? What? This is an outstanding first book.
Lincoln is someone that is dealing with his demons and the ghosts that haunt him. Joanna is the perfect person for Lincoln for because she is able to show him that there is light at the end of his dark and windy road. This was such a beautiful read that had me glued right from the start I didn’t want it to end.
How Lincoln and Joanna are filled with off the chart’s chemistry between them and the longing for one another was beautiful. The title of the book couldn’t be truer to this story.
I’m excited to see what this author comes out with next.
