Description
In the small California town of River Rock, the river is always thereโsometimes unpredictable and wild, sometimes a source of comfort, always a part of life. Bestselling author Barbara Freethy will capture your heart with an emotional story about love, family . . . and fighting for what matters most.Ex-Marine Gabe Ryder is fulfilling the last request of his best friend, Rob, who was killed in a firefight during their final days of service. He promised to help Robโs familyโ especially Robโs twin sister, Aliciaโwith their struggling river rafting business. Gabe has a hidden past with Alicia, though. Sheโs the woman who taught him that love might exist, yet he walked away from her.
Alicia has more than enough on her plate with her brotherโs death, her fatherโs injury from a tragic rafting accident, the entire town turning against them, and a series of dangerous attacks on her business. She doesnโt need this rugged loner who broke her heart. But passion flares between them, and this time, they canโt walk away. Alicia canโt help wondering: did Rob really send Gabe to watch over herโor did he want her to show Gabe the way home? ISBN:9781451636543
