It Was Always You (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781989566343)

A fresh start. A new beginning.

After breaking free from an abusive relationship, Tatum hopes to rebuild her sense of security by moving closer to her brother. But the past is eager to catch up with her. Not one but two of her exes have resurfaced. One wants to rekindle their sweet college romance, the other seeks to punish her for daring to leave him. Torn between her head and her heart, Tatum fears giving love a second chance.

In his mind, Parker has always considered Tatum the one who got away. She was his ideal woman, yet he walked out when presented with a job opportunity too good to resist. Now, with her back in town, he's hoping to stoke the flames of the fiery passion that once burned between them.

But Tatum's violent ex isn't about to let another man have her. As she and Parker contemplate rebuilding what they once had, the obsession of her ex boils over in vengeful wrath. Can Parker convince her their second chance is worth fighting for? Or will Tatum run from the longings of her battered heart?
