And…pregnant.

She’s Pregnant by Her Ex-Husband.
A Man She has Reason to Fear…

The heroine was in love with the hero but he left her after high school. So the heroine married the heroes best friend and had a baby with him. When her husband started abusing her, she stays at first, then gathers the courage to leave him and go back to her home town to find a job. That’s when her and her son encounter the hero once again.

With her son, Ryan, Jenna’s moved back to Mendocino, where she’s living and working at the Victoriana Bed and Breakfast. It’s owned by the elderly Durhams – whose grandson, Adam, was her first love. And, in some ways, her last… But that was 15 years ago, before Adam abandoned her and his family for the bright lights and big city. For a successful career and a fast-track life.

When Adam and Jenna rediscover each other, he wants her back. But much as Jenna knows she could love him again, she also knows there are too many obstacles between them. Too much history. Too many expectations. And now…her baby.

But Adam’s a Very Determined Man.
A Man She has Reason to Love…
