Callahan Brothers

I return to my hometown with only one mission: find the little sister who was torn from my arms ten years ago, no matter the cost.

The last thing I expect is to meet the single dad next door. Cal is rugged, kind, and maddeningly handsome.

He makes me laugh, makes me hope, makes me wonder if maybe I can have more than pain and loss.

Falling for him feels easy. Safe. Right.

Loving his daughter fills the void left by the long years without my sister.

Every moment we spend together pulls me deeper into the possibility of a love I thought I'd never have.

Then, with one kiss, everything comes crashing down.

The scar hidden beneath the tattoo on his arm is the mark I left the morning I lost everything.

The truth hits like a storm: the man I love is the officer who separated me from my sister.

I wanted a future with him.

Instead, I'm left untangling a web of lies, betrayal, and another devastating blow: Cal's family adopted my sister, while I was left to survive alone, never knowing what had become of the only family I had.

Now I must decide whether I can open my heart and forgive the man tied to my greatest heartbreak or risk losing both love and family forever.
