No Second Chances Chapter One –
He thought the only way to save her was to leave. Instead, it ruined her.
I thought I would spend my life with Lincoln Hayes, but he tore my heart out and left me with nothing but silence. For years. And I swear that I tried to move on. But living in a small town means I’m constantly surrounded by the memories we made, and the future he threw away.
Now that he’s home, how Linc feels about me is clear in the way he watches me when no one else is paying attention. He’s there, in the shadows, refusing to get close or leave me alone.
Up until the moment I’m begging for his help, I never thought I’d need him.
But when the walls are down between us and there aren’t any more secrets that can keep us apart, we’re both forced to face the truth… ours isn’t a simple love story, and we don’t get a happily ever after.
Not unless we fight for it.
This is Linc & Kennedy’s story.
No Second Chances is a second chance teenage sweetheart romantic suspense with a happily ever after. Each book in the Birch Harbor: Coming Home series can be read as a stand-alone, but the stories and characters do interconnect.

Chapter One - Casper “Why does New York have to suck so bad?” I walk down the crowded street, wondering if anyone has heard of personal space. My iced coffee isn’t even iced anymore, and I have already started to sweat through the clothes I put on to face down one of...

Chapter One - Avery “I swear to all that is holy, if you don’t get your ass back up here, I’m gonna lose my shit.” The words come out before I can stop them, and the frozen look of terror on my nephew’s face says it all. “Aunt Avery!” Rett screeches the way only a...

Chapter 1 – Brandi   I can’t decide which is worse… killing my teacher or wanting to screw his brains out. But since he’s a cop and I work with him, it’s probably the first option. Which sucks, because he’s hot and I’d love to do him. He’s just got an attitude...
