He walked away from who he never wanted to be. She longs for a chance to become herself. One night changes absolutely everything. FBI agent Tick Calvert is finally stepping into the man he was raised to be. He’s headed to Houston for a coveted assignment to join a human trafficking task force. As for his personal life? He’s never found the right woman and suspects he let her slip away seven years ago after a one-night stand that pulled him back from the edge. FBI analyst Caitlin Falconetti is finding her way as a single mom after a fleeting night with a haunted stranger she never found again. She’s balancing graduate school, her Bureau career, and protecting her daughter's secure world. Everything shifts when Tick walks into a Bureau meeting and comes face to face with the woman he never forgot—the one night that changed absolutely everything. Inspired by a desire to give one of the original Hearts of the South books a rewrite it deserved, the Absolutely series began as an exploration of how Tick and Caitlin really began. What developed was a new narrative, a new path for familiar characters, and I fell in love with this new life for one of my favorite couples. While you will see familiar faces from the Hearts of the South books, this series stands separately – but holding the same heat and emotion. Absolutely explores Tick and Caitlin’s undeniable chemistry and a love both of them desperately need.
