Lea Lamb and Austin Wolf were young when they fell in love.  They never imagined the future could hold anything other than together-forever.

When Lea's father dies in a tragic fishing accident, she's crushed under the weight of her grief and catches a glimpse of another type of future, one she knows she's not strong enough to face.

Austin is angry.  For the past fifteen years, he's belived the woman he loved with every ounce of his soul left him without so much as a backwards glance.

When Lea unexpectedly returns to their hometown, all the years of heartache inside Austin bubble to the surface and presents itself as blinding rage.

Faced with the truth about the past, a newly discovered secret, these former lovers will learn that if they want to have any chance at the future they'd given up on all those years ago, they will have to rescue one another from drowning in pain so debilitating it will leave them both fighting to breathe.


Review

Ms. Reynolds has hit it out of the park once again!  I fell in love with Aurora's books with the Until Series and I keep coming back for more.  Why you may ask?  Because she can write hot Alpha men like no one else!  This book is no exception.  Between one smokin' hot alpha and a the second chance romance, I was done for before I ever started the book!!

Lea has loved Austin all her life, but when her father dies suddenly, she is not sure she is cut out to be a fisherman's wife.  So she does the only thing she can think of to save her heart, she leaves.  However, even though she moves away, Austin is never far from her heart.

Austin never understood why Lea left.  He loved her more than life itself and has never gotten over her.  When she comes back to town to care for her dying mother, Austin doesn't know how to process what he is feeling towards her.  He's mad as hell, that much is true, but he can't help but want to kiss the sadness from her face.

Will they be able to overcome their past and get their HEA?  Will Lea and Austin give in to their desire for each other?  You seriously need to get a copy of this wonderful read and find out for yourself!!  I promise you will not be disappointed.  I loved it from the first page until the last and seriously didn't want it to end.  Austin was absolutely wonderful.  Even though Lea had left him, there were so many things he did with her in mind that it brought tears to my eyes.  Lea's life was so crappy after she left, that you couldn't help but want her to get a HEA.  I seriously could not get enough of this one and I can't wait to read whatever Aurora gives us next!!
    

Excerpt

“CAN WE STOP by the liquor store on the way to dinner?” Mom asks from the passenger seat of my car.
“Should you be drinking?” I frown then turn onto the main road—well, really the only road in town.
“What’s it going to do, kill me?” she jokes, making me inhale a sharp breath. “Honey,” she says quietly, and I look at her briefly, wondering how the hell she can be so casual about this. “I’m dying. When it will happen, only the good Lord knows, but it is happening, and there is nothing you or I can do about it. I have made my peace with it, and I want you to do the same.” She reaches over to pat my thigh.
“Make peace with it?” I repeat, shaking my head in disbelief.
“Yes, make peace with it. If you think about it, I’m lucky. I know I’m going to die. I know that sooner rather than later God is going to come take me home, and when he does, I will be ready. I will have had a chance to say goodbye to the people I care about and right any wrongs I’ve caused. I’m lucky, honey.”
“What about me?” I wring my hands on the steering wheel, feeling my chest get tight as I fight back tears.
“I love you, honey. I loved you before you were even a sparkle in my eye, and I will always be with you. I know this isn’t easy for you. I know there are going to be a lot of tears shed, but we’re lucky, honey.”
I press my lips together to keep from saying something I might regret. I’m not lucky; in fact, I’m unlucky to the tenth power. How many people have I lost, how many people do I have to loose before it’s enough.
“Oh look! Sheryl!” She yells, pulling me from my thoughts as she reaches over, pressing the horn on my steering wheel while her other hand shoots across me so she can wave out my window. Looking to where she’s waving my heart begins to beat wildly
against my ribcage when I see not Sheryl, but Austin walking into one of the many bars that litter Main Street, only it’s not just Austin—it’s him and a woman with her arm wrapped around the back of his waist as he holds the door open for her.
Even from the distance separating us, my lungs compress at the beauty that is him. The years have been good to him. His hair is still shaggy, only now a little lighter; his face is tan and covered in a beard that makes his crystal blue eyes stand out even more. My eyes travel from his face to his torso, which is covered in a dark green thermal that shows off the muscles of his arms, chest, and tapered waist, then down to his denim-covered thighs. When my gaze sweeps back up, his eyes are on me, and I see them crinkle in confusion then realization that soon turns into anger.
“You missed the liquor store,” my mom complains as I speed up.
