BOOK FULL DESCRIPTION 

ANDIE

Nine years ago, I ran for my life.

Since then, I've slowly rebuilt what was taken from me. But it’s risky to let my roots grow too deep. Anyone I let close could pay the price if my past catches up with me.

Then Cooper moves in next door.

The devastatingly handsome sheriff and his teenage son aren’t supposed to become part of my carefully ordered world. Yet between shared meals, stolen glances, and the way they make room for me in their lives, I find myself craving the home and family I swore wasn’t in the cards.

Except, the moment Cooper learns who I really am, he'll have every reason to walk away.


COOPER

 

Coming home to Swift Rivers was supposed to be about family: helping my father recover and giving my son a chance to start over.

Falling for my neighbor wasn't part of the plan.

Andie is beautiful, guarded, and hiding something. But the more time my son and I spend with her, the more I see the caring woman behind the cautious smiles—the one determined to shoulder her burdens alone. Now all I want is a future that includes her forever at my side.

When the shadows she once escaped creep into Swift Rivers, protecting her becomes the only thing that matters.

As danger closes in and the truth comes to light, we'll have to decide whether our scars and secrets are reasons to walk away—or reasons to finally choose love and stay.

Welcome to Swift Rivers, where heroes fall hard, cowgirls fight back, and love is the bravest rescue of all. An interconnected, standalone series that can be read in any order.

Tag Line: A small-town sheriff falls for his neighbor—a woman on the run.

ABOUT LJ EVANS:

Award-winning author LJ Evans lives in Northern California with her husband, child, and the three terrors called cats. She's written compulsively since she was a little girl, often getting derailed from what she should be doing by a song lyric that sends her scrambling to jot a scene down. 

A former first-grade teacher, she now spends her days deep in the pages of romance and mystery with a bit of the otherworldly thrown in. Her favorite characters are those who live resiliently—stubbornly and triumphantly getting through this wild ride called life with hope, love, and found families guiding the way.
