Sheâs back to right her wrongs
When Tanya Todd returns to Templeton Cove, she knows better than to expect a warm welcome. She burned a few bridges on her way out of town, and making amends wonât be easy. First on her list is the man whose heart she carelessly shattered, Liam Browne.
Seeing the successful criminal lawyer after all these years, Tanya is interested in more than just Liamâs forgiveness. As they work together to bring the man who hurt her sister to justice, the attraction between them sizzles. Suddenly Tanyaâs second chance could include a future with Liam...if she can prove sheâs changed.
Tanya blinked. âIâm sorry I hurt you.â
Liamâs smile dissolved and something inside kicked painfully. âWhat?â
âIâm sorry for a lot of things, but Iâm sorry for hurting you most of all.â
When a tear slipped down her cheek, Liam reached for her before he could think just how stupid a mistake that might be. âHey, come here.â
He pulled her into his arms. She lowered her head onto his chest, her body trembling. He gently maneuvered her inside.
Leading Tanya to a low wooden cabinet, he lifted her up and settled her on top of it. Her knees parted and he stood between them...just like he used to.
His heart thundered with the sudden need to kiss her, to feel her warm, soft lips on his. He dropped his gaze to her mouth. He couldnât do that. Correction, he wouldnât do that. Unless she asked him to.
Dear Reader,
Here we go again! More fun, laughter, romance and tears for the residents of Templeton Cove in my fifth book in the series, Her Hometown Redemption. I was inspired to write this book when two secondary characters from book two, What Belongs to Her, refused to leave me alone.
Tanya Todd was once an ambitious, hard-hitting businesswoman. And although she was dating one of the Coveâs best men, her motherâs warnings of love never lasting and money being all a girl can rely on drove Tanya to leave the Cove to pursue her career...leaving Liam Browne high and dry. Unfortunately, her hunger for financial success veered off course, leaving Tanya penniless and broken.
When Tanya returns to the Cove, she has a lot of making up to do.
Liam Browne is a successful lawyer living a lonely life and just when he decides itâs time to find someone to love, the love of his life, Tanya Todd, breezes back into town as though itâs the most natural thing in the world. Angry and seething with unanswered questions, Liam confronts her...only to be greeted by a woman so entirely vulnerable, so different from the one he once knew. Despite knowing Tanya spells trouble, one look into her sad, frightened eyes and Liam finds it impossible to turn away...
I welcome new and existing readers to my most favorite English seaside town and hope you enjoy it enough that you will join me there again very soon!

CHAPTER ONE
FAR TOO QUICKLY for Tanya Toddâs liking, the view from the deck of the ferry filled with Templeton Coveâs shoreline. The beach glimmered beneath the ripples of heat rising from its sands, causing specks to sparkle like diamonds...yet Tanya had no idea if Templeton would offer her riches or rejection. At least, she wouldnât until she stepped from the boat and waited for the residentsâ reaction to her return. Exhaling a shaky breath, she raised her hand to the crown of her wide-brimmed straw hat, closed her eyes and lifted her face to the heat of the midday sun.
Her heart pounded with each crash of the water against the boat, her nerves hitching higher with every jerk and dip. There was no use in denying why she was aboard the ferry, or even why sheâd decided to return to the place she once fled; she was running home with more than one job to do. The days ahead would be tough, and even though weakness threatened inside her, she would triumph for both her and her sister.
