Book Title:It Had to Be Him
Log
Line: Fun small town
contemporary with lots of heart.
Book Tag:In this fun and
flirty new romance, a reformed bad girl returns to her small hometown to avoid
the man who shattered her heart. But when she discovers the truth about
his past and his secrets unravel, can she learn to trust
again and let him win back her heart?
Even though Meg Anderson’s hell-raising days are over, coming home to Anderson Butte isn’t easy, especially when her impossible-to-please dad is the mayor and her do-gooder siblings run the place. But with another job lost and the gorgeous father of her daughter trying to make contact after disappearing three years ago, a break is definitely in order. Hopefully the little town filled with big, juicy secrets can help.
After being off the grid
for years, Josh Granger, a man with his own secrets, wants Meg and his daughter
back. But first he has to get past townspeople as protective as a pack of
rottweilers. He’s not the man Meg thinks he is, but he can’t tell her why…not
yet.
As Meg slowly warms to
Josh, it’s clear the old spark is still there. But when his secret is
exposed—along with Meg’s own shocking revelation—will it tear their family
apart again, or bind them forever?
Excerpt:
Meg
Anderson slowed her rust bucket SUV, cut the engine, then glided quietly down
the hill toward the moonlit lake. The lights were all out in her shotgun-packing
grandmother’s house, but gran was a light sleeper.
She’d
had buckshot plucked from her ass before and would rather give birth again than
repeat that horrendous procedure. Especially because the only doctor in her
small hometown had been her oldest brother—doesn’t get more embarrassing than
that.
She
parked behind the equipment shed then hopped out of the car to perform a little
B & E into her grandmother’s guesthouse.
When
a girl needed somewhere to hide out for the summer, what better place than a
teeny, tiny town in Colorado where her middle brother was the Sheriff, her
father the Mayor, and her sister ran the only hotel. The townspeople lived for
gossip when they weren’t busy keeping secrets, and that’s just what Meg needed.
The keeping secrets part. The gossip not so much. Especially because it was
usually about her.
And
if the stars would all align for the first time in her life, her father would
have had a change of heart. Hopefully he will have forgotten that part about
how she’s never allowed to work for the family business again, because she was
out of options. But there was no way anyone was going to take away the one good
thing in her life.
Her
daughter Haley.
Meg
tested the handle on the guest house. It was locked. People didn’t lock doors
in Anderson Butte as a rule. But grandma’s guest house, close to the shore and
the hotel, had been used in the past by amorous couples who’d stumbled upon it
for some naughty times. Luckily grandma never figured out some of those fun
times had been Meg’s.
