I had no idea when Sadie Cole caught my eye, that she would also steal my heart. My daughter’s new dance teacher with her jet black hair and haunting blue eyes intrigued me. Her tight outfits and bare skin taunted me. Most importantly, she was amazing with my daughter.
But Sadie’s reputation proceeded her… and I couldn’t afford any entanglements that would cost me custody of my daughter.
The more I spent time with her the more I realized the rumors were wrong— the town was wrong. I wanted to be the man she could count on. When what’s best for my daughter and what’s right for Sadie are in direct conflict, I hope I make the right choice.
Sadie
I left my hometown right after high school to escape a scandal. Returning home, seeing the way they all still looked at me, I realized coming back was a mistake. Until sexy, single dad, Tanner Green glanced my way.
Those blue eyes saw too much, they looked right through me in search of the truth.
His kind heart and stacked body tempted me to stay and face the rumors. But I’ve never let anyone get that close—especially a cop, with the sweetest daughter in the world, because my secrets ruined everything and everyone.
With him by my side things could be different… his love was worth taking the chance.
Sadie has not had an easy life as not only did she have no support system but those people that should have been there for her made her life that much more difficult. She has overcome her past and returned to her hometown when she meets Tanner, the father of one of her dance students Rylan.
Tanner is a police officer and a single father. He is drawn to Sadie from their first meeting and he soon realizes that she is nothing like the rumors and gossip that everyone in town takes pleasure in sharing but getting her to believe that her past doesn’t define her is quite the challenge.
As she becomes closer to father and daughter she starts to believe that she deserves better than the hand that life has dealt her but will her past destroy the life they could have together?
This is a heartwarming story about love, family and second chances. Sadie needed someone who was there for her and she found that in Tanner and Rylan.
