When Chance McCallister left her to join the Navy SEALS, Mandy Loomis was devastated. Now, more than ten years later, Chance and his brothers are back in town for their father’s funeral, but Mandy is no longer that moon-eyed teenager she once was. She’s a fiercely independent woman determined to solve her own problems—and she has plenty. When her gambler father died two years prior, he left … left Mandy—along with a successful auto repair business—a ton of debt owed to a ruthless loan shark. Mandy is barely getting by, and when her mechanic quits, she’s in a real bind. It just so happens, Chance is willing to help out. Sure, Chance is bigger, stronger, and sexier than ever, but Mandy isn’t interested in anything but his mechanical skills…
Or maybe just a bit interested in his kissing skills—which, by the way, are just as good as she remembers.
Mandy wasn’t the only one brokenhearted when they were just teens. Chance never did get over his first love, and seeing her now only brings back those feelings in a major way. He’s grown up a lot since he left their little town, and now that he’s home, he’s determined to win back the girl he never should have lost. If only he can convince Mandy that he can protect her from the loan shark and his thugs, and that she doesn’t have to protect her heart from him.
But just as the two are beginning to realize they’re meant to be together, the loan shark makes things more than just a little precarious, putting both their love and their lives in danger.

Mandy and Chance had broken up when he left for the Navy. Now it’s twelve years later and in order to try for a HEA they must overcome misunderstandings, hurt feelings, extortion, and kidnapping. This was a good read with an interesting and steamy storyline with strong characters.

I could not get enough of Chance and Mandy! From the very beginning you can feel their chemistry and their pull and my phone was burning. The heat between them almost melted my phone. I could feel everything they did. Pepper was hilarious and would love to see more of her! So happy with the result of this.

She always had his heart. He knew enough to go back home to her where he belonged. Even while separated, she was always the one for him. If that isn’t true love, then strike me foolish. Wonderful read.

Chance just retired from the life of a seal when his father passed away. So he returns home to find that the love of his life is in deep trouble with some loan sharks – a debt inherited from her father.
The story of this book is about his fight to protect her and to win back her trust, to build a future together.
Thanks to the side-line of the loan sharks the story is more than just a love story, as it lends some extra thrills and twists to the story. Well- written, it keeps the readers on their toes.

I love me a second chance and I adore a military hero. Give me both in one book and throw in a bit of a psychological thriller and I’m willing to be a fan for life. Chance and Mandy have enough chemistry to level a small city. It comes with two lifetimes of unresolved emotional baggage that were almost heartbreaking to witness. I loved watching this pair interact. Chance is all alpha, but Mandy’s no pushover and she stands her ground when it’s needed. I can’t wait to read about the other two brothers, at least in part because I’m hoping these two are going to be in background livening things up.
