Sheriff Luke Kerrigan was juggling the chaos left in the wake of a hurricane and the shady crew hired to rebuild Cypress Bay’s bridge. The last thing he expected was to be drawn to the guarded woman staying in town with her young son.

Gracie Acton-Rogers just wanted to keep Sebastian safe from the wealthy in-laws who saw him as their heir. But when one reckless night leads to her son’s kidnapping, Luke risks everything to bring him home—and to prove some risks are worth taking.

It Had To Be You is a steamy, small town, romantic suspense with a fiercely loyal family, a hint of danger, and a love they never expected. Third person, dual POV. It is best enjoyed in order, but can be read as a standalone. Only for readers ages 18 and up.
