Worth the Fall (The Malone Brothers)

A swoony small town, second chance, law enforcement romance from New York Times bestselling author, K. Bromberg

"I hate you. I never want to see you again."

It's been twenty years since I said those words. Since Grant Malone's smile fell hearing them seconds before I walked out of our third-grade classroom thinking I'd never see him again.

He's not the reason I moved back to Sunnyville-at least that's what I tell myself. I thought time had healed all wounds. I was wrong.

Nothing could have prepared me for how I'd feel when I finally saw him again. The little boy I once knew is now a grown man. A grown man who hits all my buttons-sexy, funny, attractive, and kind.

I wasn't supposed to feel like this about a man who knows too much about my past, one I'd sworn was off-limits. But some bonds are unbreakable regardless of time.

One night. No questions asked. That's what I'll give us to get whatever this is out of our systems. To prove to him I'm okay and over the past. To prove to myself I can walk away without regrets.

I was a fool to think one night would ever be enough . . .
