A broken promise. A reckless love. A life-changing ending.

When you’re the daughter of the mayor and the police chief in a sleepy Kansas town, perfection is expected. Seventeen-year-old Reagan strives to maintain the image her demanding mother desires until Regan’s older brother’s best friend changes the game.

Ridley’s tormented and teased Reagan her entire life, but he’s always kept his distance. He’s always played by his best friend’s rules—until now. When Ridley breaks a promise, late-night phone calls and secret rendezvous in the haystacks transform into a reckless, all-consuming love.

Some promises are meant to be broken. Some secrets will not be contained, and sometimes the consequences we render are more than we can bear.

Jump in the pick-up truck and ride down some backroads in this swoony tale where Trouble is the hero’s middle name. Fans of brother’s best friend, small town, secret romance, and innocent heroine tropes should grab their tissues and be ready for an ugly cry.

This is volume one of the Backroads Duet. Volume two, Loss in A Major, is available now.
