Her first and only
Loving and marrying Savannah Carrington came naturally to Edward Talbot. Thanks to his political ambitions, losing his stunning wife was all too easy, as well. Co-parenting their young daughter has been the silver lining in their divorce. Then Savannah surprisingly accepts Edwardâs invitation to visit his familyâs Bahamian bed-and-breakfast, and the sultry tropical breezes begin to rekindle their deep, passionate connection.
Heâs always been the man of her dreamsâsexy, confident and charismatic. Savannah and little Chloe just needed more than Edward could give. With a successful new career in fashion design, sheâs ready to move overseas. Yet from the Caribbean to London, Edward is in hot pursuit, reminding her how good they can be together. The stakes are higher than ever. And it may take the threat of losing everything to see just how wonderful loveâs rewards can truly be...
âHeâs young and foolish,â she resolved.
âYes! Heâs going to learn the hard way what it means to lose someone he loves. Heâll regret it for the rest of his life.â
âYou sound like an authority on the matter.â
âI am.â He looked at her. âI lost you.â
For a brief, uncomfortable moment, she was silent and he wished she would say something.
âI think we both sort of lost each other,â she finally said.
His fingertips brushed against her face and he moved closer, waiting for her to stop him but she didnât. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulled her into his chest. His nose gently touched hers, and then his lips kissed hers. She wrapped her arms around his waist, caressing his back. As the waves from the ocean crashed against the shore, his tongue danced against her mint-flavored mouth.
He still loved her. He knew it, and so did the universe.
This is definitely a story about second chances and falling in love all over again. Edward is strong and arrogant, and Savannah is his complete opposite. But together they make one another whole. Sheâs always given in to Edwardâs plans and taken a backseat to his political endeavors. However, sheâs not giving in to Edward this timeâitâs her time to shine.
This time, sheâs doing what makes her happy for a change. She needs to travel to London to finally make things right with her motherâthe woman who abandoned her as a child. And she doesnât expect anyone to understand, but if you grow up without a parent in your life, you understand that thereâs a void that needs to be filled.
Their breakup was hard, but thereâs no doubt the two are still in love. Anyone could see that, but it isnât until they make love on the beach in the Caribbean that the two figure it out. I hope you will enjoy Edward and Savannahâs sweet love story. Youâll also fall in love with Savannahâs eccentric mom, Nyleâher shenanigans will keep you on your toes. Edward and Savannahâs sweet little girl, Chloe, gives them all a reason to live and love. Sheâs the glue that holds them all together.
Nyle blew it with Savannah once upon a time, but Chloe is her second chance, and she has no intentions of blowing it again.
I hope you continue to love the Talbots and make them your favorite family.

Chapter 1
Edward stood across the room from her and admired long, lean legs, a round butt and perfectly exhibited breasts. Her hair was short and sassy, not long and flowing as when they were together. She smiled at the gentleman in front of her and then pushed her bangs out of her face. Edward was in awe of her for a moment. This wasnât the woman he remembered. No, this lady was self-assured and sexyânot the timid young woman that he once knew.
