Return to Belle Ridge (Belle Ridge, Texas #2)

They say home is where the heart is ... but for some, that heart has been deceived, broken, or abandoned.

Stella Sutton knows the feeling of abandonment all too well. Coming from a family at the center of the town’s gossip mill, she’s learned to keep her chin up and carry on. After years of piecing together her shattered heart, she has contented herself with life in the small Texas town of Belle Ridge. When her high school sweetheart returns, he brings more than just old memories and that charming smile with him.

Clay Atwood had no choice but to escape his hometown after his family faced great loss and devastation. Four years later, he returns for his sister’s wedding, stirring up more trouble than he’d left behind. He knows he holds the answers to Stella’s questions, but sometimes it’s best to stay quiet. When new danger arises, Clay must decide if it’s safer to abandon town once again or stay to fight for the woman who holds his heart.

When it’s all on the line, how far will he go to keep her safe while trying not to get any more blood on his hands?
