Bachelor No More (Northbridge Nuptials #8)

Only the direst emergency could bring Jared Perry back to the small town he'd left at eighteen, swearing he'd never return. But he couldn't turn his back on a family member in trouble. And he "never" expected to find a reason in lovely Mara Pratt for staying....

She'd been burned by love before and wasn't about to risk her heart to a big-city corporate raider. Especially one who'd been ready to escape the moment his tailored coat had picked up some country dust. Still, something about Jared made Mara willing to fight for a chance to be together. She'd start by showing him what coming home "really" meant.
