He ran away years ago, but a little slice of Texas follows him all the way to Love Beach. Nash Mercer never intended to set foot in Texas ever again. When the call from an elite Texas Ranger unit draws him back to family land and a history he tried to escape, he can’t say no. Just as he settles into old boots, he discovers there’s a link to his family–and his case–in Love Beach at Christmas that draws him back across the country in time to celebrate the silly season with a girl he used to know. Bonnie Little isn’t the girl who disappeared from his senior year at highschool anymore. The girl he had his heart set on, ready to ask to prom. They should have been homecoming king and queen back in Texas years ago. Instead, she wasn’t there, never graduated, and his heart shattered. He still carries the ring in his pocket he meant to give her. A fool’s dream. When Nash meets her again, nothing is the same. Bonnie Little is far from the girl he remembers. All curves in the right places, fire in her eyes. Tragedy, too. He can’t shake the feeling something is wrong about her, and when she clashes with his investigation, he doesn’t know if he’ll be taking her back home to Texas closer to his heart than they started… Or in handcuffs. USA Today Bestselling Author Sofia Aves brings you a steamy second chance, highschool sweethearts romance with a twist set in her Texan Devils world.
