About the author
Jill Shalvis
388 books13.8k followersJill Shalvis is a NYT, USA Today, and Amazon Top 100 bestselling author of small-town romance and romcoms, known for big feels, found family, and plenty of shenanigans.
If you love small-town chaos, meddling friends and neighbors, sizzling chemistry, and heroes who fall hard for the one woman they absolutely did not plan on, you’re in the right place. Jill’s books blend laugh-out-loud moments with emotional gut punches, slow-burn tension, and deeply earned happily ever afters.
She writes the stories she loves to read: small-town romance and romantic comedies packed with heart, heat, second chances, grumpy/sunshine sparks, and the kind of found-family vibes that make you want to move right into the pages. Many of her series are perfect for binge-reading, and a number of her books are available in Kindle Unlimited and at major retailers.
When she’s not writing, she’s probably plotting new ways to torture her characters, avoiding laundry, or daydreaming about fictional men and the strong, complicated women who bring them to their knees—and then making them work for it.

bought for 50 cents
this took place in the 1990's
what are the chances i would buy a book and its taking place here, central coast calif!
he is a single dad of 10 yr old girl
the mom disappeared after she was born
the mom was 17, had been molested and no one believed her
the dad raised his daughter and couldnt find the mom
his family cut him off
he has his own business
he went to the bench on the beach for his girlfriends birthday 10 years after she was gone. a woman showed up , she seemed familiar , he asked her name and she lied
she showed up at the daughters basketball game and they invited her to pizza after, she went
she is really the mom but she had been in a terrible accident, had to have her hair shaved and it grew back different, she had a lot of operations on her face and vocal cords so she looked and sounded totally different
she is afraid to tell them who she is but she longs for her daughter
she is starting a temp business there in town
after his brothers funeral his mom shows up and he lets the daughter spend the night with her grandparents
thats when the woman tells him who she is, and he gets mad and throws her out
but they get back together and the girl accepts her and they get married
