      She’s the love of his life…

      …but is he still hers?

      FBI agent Derrick Matthews has finally found his childhood sweetheart and the love of his life—but she isn’t exactly happy about it! Years ago, Hannah Rawlings disappeared overnight when her family went on the run, and she blames Derrick. She tells him she’s moved on and he should, too, but Derrick fears Hannah’s still in danger. He vows to protect her—even if that means betraying her trust…again.

      “Yes, we made promises. Had our entire future before us.” Hannah’s eyes turned glassy in the lighting.

      She continued. “But the longer we were apart, the more apparent it became that we were over. My family took precedence, Derrick. Decisions were made that moved you and me farther and farther from each other. This is my reality now.”

      He couldn’t deny that truth. “So Prescott is the guy for you?”

      She nodded. “He’s been there. Since we met and later when Mom got sick. He’s a good man.”

      “You love him?”

      “You’ve met him. How could I not?”

      “That’s not an answer.”

      She pressed her lips together. He remembered that stubborn expression.

      “Derrick, it’s been a long time. We can’t be in each other’s lives,” she said, but had hesitated for a fraction of a second.

      A shaft of hope lit through Derrick. “Not even if you’re the love I never stopped looking for?”

      Dear Reader,

      Do you love to travel? I do. Nothing is more exciting than hitting the open road on a new adventure. And when an interesting locale pops up on a television show, I love to say to my husband, “I’ve been there.” There are so many outstanding places to set a story, so picking the right location for a book is important.

      Years ago I was out west with some friends and we drove through Nevada. I was really impressed with the Lake Tahoe area. The mountains were so beautiful. The water so clear and blue. I love being in the woods, and let me say, there were so many gorgeous rustic areas, so many tall trees and lots of wildlife, I fell in love. So when I needed a special place for Hannah, my latest heroine, to live, the lake and surrounding region immediately jumped into my mind.

      Research is a big part of planning a book, and when I get to “visit” new places to discover interesting tidbits to incorporate in a story, it makes writing so much fun.

      I hope you enjoy Hannah and Derrick’s story, and the return of the Matthews brothers.

      Happy reading!

       Tara

      To my precious daughter, Kathryn. I love you.
