Delaney Foster

Sterling Delaney Foster

She ran from a past that defined her. He ran from a secret that could destroy her. Thirteen years later, they run into each other... When Claire Cunningham was five years old, she was taken. She's spent the rest of her life running... from her past, from her pain, from that day. Fate brings Claire back to her tiny hometown of Clover Creek, Texas to care for her gram. The minute she runs into her old high school sweetheart, Claire realizes some old flames never burn out. The man in front of her is very different from the boy who walked away from her thirteen years ago. Being with Jayce Sterling again would be so easy, so right. There's just one thing holding her back-a secret she'd rather keep hidden from the judgmental eyes of a small town. Soon, she'll find out she's not the only one with secrets. Jayce has one too, and this one could cost him everything. *Book One of three in the Sweet Southern Heat Series. May be read as a standalone.**
