When
Emily balked at running away with her childhood sweetheart, Ed, eight years
ago, she had no idea he’d disappear from her life. In the years since, she’s managed
to push past her pain to open her own business and find love again. Her life
feels good, until Ed shows up on her doorstep.
Ed
vowed he’d never come back for her. But no matter how many miles, or blondes,
he’d put between them, he couldn’t shake her hold on his heart. He’d pictured
himself stepping back into her life, but hadn’t counted on her despair over his
business or that she’d be pregnant.
Now Ed is fighting both for and against her to
win her heart once and for all. But can they find their way back to each other,
through years of hurt and with an unexpected baby on the way?

Excerpts
Excerpt 1:
“You want to do this,
right?” Ryan asked. Confusion and a hint of nerves settled over his features
for the first time since he’d started the conversation about living together.
“Yes,” she replied
with more certainty than she felt.
Ryan pulled back
to look down at her, perhaps finally sensing her hesitation in her body while
her words said something else. He gave her a questioning look, but before Emily
could protest, a loud knock came at the door.
“One minute,” she
called out towards the door over Ryan’s shoulder.
“I love you Ry,”
she assured him, looking deep into his eyes.
He nodded but
Emily didn’t think he looked fully reassured.
Emily walked
across the hardwood, unlocked the door, and pulled it open just a crack.
“I’m sorry we’re
closed,” she apologized without looking at the patron.
When her eyes
finally did connect with the figure, her mouth went slack. She opened the door
wider without thinking.
“Ed?” Her mouth
dropped open.
“Hi Em,” the sandy
blonde half-Viking said on her doorstep.
Emily longed to
race across the wooden floor and launch herself in his arms. She ached for him
to lift her up high and twirl her about, making her feel diminutive and dainty.
But instead, she froze. The pain of their decisions stilling her feet and
making her heart race in her chest at his mere presence.
“Can I come in?”
Ed ducked his head inside the doorframe and offered a half-smile.
“I… I think… Sure,
yeah, come in,” she finally sputtered.
While he walked
in, Ed winked at her.
“What are you
doing here?” She crossed her arms over her chest and took a step back. “I
thought you were still in Australia.”
