Always Jess (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798868910807)

After two years away from Limason, Texas, Jess Maxwell is eager to get home. Unfortunately, he knows two mean men-who won't be happy until he's dead-are trailing him. Mary Beth is home for the summer from nursing school and has known Jess her whole life. Imagine his surprise that, at the age of nineteen, she's grown into a real beauty.

Jess and Mary Beth are reunited, and this time, sparks fly. Within days of Jess's return to Limason, the bad men show up and terrorize anyone who gets in their way-including Mary Beth. Jess had planned to court and eventually marry the smart young woman, but the attack leaves her paralyzed with fear, unwilling to trust a man ever again.

Is seeking revenge against those who hurt her Jess's only way to prove his dedication? Is it possible a wise old woman could help Mary Beth trust her feelings of love? With honesty and compassion on his side, Jess might be able to convince Mary Beth of the gentle affection he has had for her-always.
