The unforgettable novel of a woman who must return to her small hometown in the South, only to discover that the years-old secrets and scandals of her past are right where she left them—from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown
Sunny Chandler always said she’d never return to Latham Green, Louisiana. Just three years ago she was at the center of the small town’s juiciest scandal. Now she’s been invited to her best friend’s wedding and has no choice but to go home. And with her return come the whispers . . . the looks . . . the rumors. It doesn’t take her long to see that Latham Green has nothing new to offer. Except maybe Ty Beaumont . . . Ty can see through the gossip to the real Sunny. Yet despite his easy Southern charm, Sunny doesn’t seem interested, even if she’s seriously tempted. For she’s harboring the agonizing secret of why she really left. What she needs is a man who’s not just a lover. And though there’s clearly much more to the roguish Ty Beaumont than meets the eye, Sunny doesn’t know if she can trust anyone with her secret heartbreak—even the one man who may be able to heal it.
I think there’s yet to be a Sandra Brown book I haven’t liked. Her non-suspense romances even manage to be complex and sexy without being sickly sweet or cliché. Sunny may have over-reacted a bit to her wedding that didn’t happen, but I understand small towns and how news, accurate or not, travels fast. Ty was straight-forward and pushy, but seemed to know exactly what she needed, right from the start. Brown is one of the best at creating sexual tension, and that’s what really sells a romance for me.
