A thirteen-year secret. A love that never died. Consequences that had to be faced. Brianna Westbrook knew it wouldn’t be easy to return to her hometown to face Mac Larson, the father of her son. For thirteen years Brianna raised Lance alone, thinking it was the right thing to do. After their breakup, Mac had moved on without her, married someone else and had two daughters. She wouldn’t interfere with his life. Now things were different. Mac was divorced and her son had gotten in trouble in Houston. Brianna and Lance both needed what her small hometown offered, but by going home she’d have to expose her secret and face the man she had never quit loving. Mac Larson loved Marsh Isles and the restaurant business. Even when he returned from college to make this his home, he knew he was walking away for the love of his life. Now Brianna was back in town with a secret that would change his life forever. Could he forgive her for keeping his son away from him? Would Marsh Isles bring Brianna and Mac back together?
Fran McNabb grew up along the beaches and islands of the Gulf Coast. After spending the first years of marriage in Germany, she and her husband returned to the coastline to raise their two sons. Today they live on a quiet bayou harbor and spend much of the year boating and fishing. Fran earned both her B.S. and her M.E. from the University of Southern Mississippi, and over the years taught English and journalism as well as presided over writing workshops for various organizations. This love of the English language prompted her to write engaging romances, many of which are set along her native coastline. She'd love to hear from her readers at http://www.FranNabb.com
Although normally I'm not a fan of secret baby stories, but with Fran McNabb's deft writing this becomes a sweet and lovely romance story, full of the angst of a single mom and her problems and the tender reunion love. The story sped along at a great pace, with interesting side characters and a refreshing coastal setting. Well done!
