Nice romance. Sloan was run out of town by Annie's father, the police chief on the night on the prom. The town "bad boy" joined the military, and successfully started his own security company. He returns to town when his Aunt Lydia, who raised him after his mother's disappearance, is dying. His high school girlfriend is Lydia's nurse. She married and divorced, and unbeknownst to him, her oldest is really Sloan's son. Things fall apart after Lydia's death, when Sloan confronts the police chief about his mother's disappearance. Turns out that the chief killed her, covered it up; just like he ran Sloan out of town on a rape charge. Annie's eyes are opened to the true nature of her father, and how Sloan always was the honorable man. In the end, Justin is told that Sloan is really his father and Annie & Sloan are married in Lydia's restored Wedding Garden.

If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it. Then, when you are ready, pass it along for someone else to enjoy! Thanks and happy reading!
