Take My Heart

Shelley left town with her sister's fiancé. Now she's back-a widow with his children.After years away and a tragedy that changed everything, Shelley Hart returns to Harbor Falls with nothing but a beat-up car, a broken heart, and two little girls in tow. Home for the holidays was never in her plans-especially not after the scandal she left behind. But with nowhere else to turn, she's back in the one place she swore she'd never set foot again. And the first person she runs into? The town's most reclusive bachelor... And the man she once loved and left behind. Police officer Matt Branson has spent the last few years living quietly in his mountain cabin, nursing a heart he never admitted was broken. He prefers solitude to holiday cheer-until Shelley rolls back into town and crashes straight into his quiet, carefully guarded life. She's not the girl he remembers. And he's not the boy who let her go. Can two hearts, bruised by past choices and long-buried secrets, find their way back to each other in time for Christmas?
