Magnolia Road J Lynn Bailey

On the outside, Bryce Hayes is satisfied with the structure of her life, her demanding career, and series of no-strings-attached relationships, but her brother bounces in and out of rehab, her mother thinks she can beat her son's addiction, and her father is simply doing what he can to keep a semblance of "normal". When Bryce's father, Congressman Hayes, orders her to Granite Harbor, Maine, due to a string of threats to their family coming from an unidentifiable source, she doesn't expect Ethan Casey, the sexy soldier who slept with her, then walked out, without so much as a goodbye, to be her landlord. Ethan's past is riddled with chaos, bullets, and loud noise. After returning to his small town after the war, he's determined to get back to his roots. Peace, quiet, and working as a game warden for the Maine Warden Service sounds right as rain. But with Bryce in Granite Harbor, staying in his house on Magnolia Road, Ethan can't stop thinking about his future-and that includes Bryce. But to make things right with the love of his life, he'll have to open old wounds...and risk losing her forever.
