About this ebook
But that was all in the past.
Addie Malloy had finally moved on and made a life for herself and her young child. On quiet Firewood Island, tending twelve hives of honeybees and raising sweet little Michaela gave her the peace she needed after her divorce. Had she truly buried the past, or was her hard-won peace about to unravel?
Except now Skip had come home. And he'd brought someone with him. The former NFL quarterback was back to coach at Fire High, moving into the big house across Clover Road with twelve-year-old Becky.
Thirteen years had not dimmed his memory of the girl he had never stopped loving. Could the returning coach ever win back the woman he deserted, or would the truth about the child at his side tear them apart forever?
Skip was determined to make amends for running out on Addie when she needed him most. But how would the single mother react when she discovered that his daughter was her daughter, too? Would this be the end? Or could this long-awaited reunion be a new beginning…for them all?

About the author
Mary J. Forbes developed a love affair with books at an early age while growing up on a large and sprawling farm. In sixth grade, she wrote her first short story, which led to long, drawn-out poems in her teens and eventually to the more practical matter of journalism as an adult. While her children were small, she became a teacher. Continuing to write, she later sold several pieces of short fiction. One day she discovered Romance Writers of America and, at that point, her writing life changed. A few years and a number of cross-country moves later, she had completed several books and a horde of rejection letters. But! That tooth-grinding perseverance paid off. One October afternoon the phone rang -- and an editor offered a contract. Today, Mary lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two children and spends most mornings creating another life in the company of characters dear to her heart.
