Rachel Brimble - Her Hometown Redemption

She’s 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 won’t 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 Liam’s forgiveness. As they work together to bring the man who hurt her sister to justice, the attraction between them sizzles. Suddenly Tanya’s second chance could include a future with Liam...if she can prove she’s changed.

Tanya blinked. “I’m sorry I hurt you.”

Liam’s smile dissolved and something inside kicked painfully. “What?”

“I’m sorry for a lot of things, but I’m sorry for hurting you most of all.”

When a tear slipped down her cheek, Liam reached for her before he could think just how stupid a mistake that might be. “Hey, come here.”

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 couldn’t do that. Correction, he wouldn’t do that. Unless she asked him to.

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 Cove’s best men, her mother’s 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 it’s time to find someone to love, the love of his life, Tanya Todd, breezes back into town as though it’s 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!
