Synopsis:
Growing up in small-town
Belcrest, Maddy Jennings always thought she was destined to be with her childhood
sweetheart, Trent Basso. Throughout the
complicated road she has traveled with Trent, someone else has had a strong
presence in Maddy's life. Trent’s older brother Gabe has always been someone
she could count on, therefore neither of them can be blamed when lines blur
from friendship to something more. However, promises made between brothers
threaten to ensure that neither of them will have a permanent place in her
life.
When Maddy returns to her
hometown for her brother’s wedding, she is forced to face both Trent and Gabe
for the first time in two years. While the two Basso brothers fight to win her
heart, she is busy struggling with a past that won't seem to let her go.
Whether she wants to or not, Maddy must decide to either forfeit her own happiness
or forever tear a family apart.
About Michelle
Michelle Lynn has always been a reader, but her passion has become a full-blown addiction since her husband bought her a Kindle for Mother's Day. She's pretty sure that he regrets this on a regular basis. Especially when she has it propped
up next to the stove while she cooks, which often results in a burnt dinner. Or when he loses sleep because the glow from the screen wakes him up when he rolls over at three in the morning. He does agree, however, that she uses this gift more than any other he has ever gotten her. She joking counters that, because of some of the steamy novels she reads, he also benefits more from this gift than any other he has gotten her. ;)
Michelle moved around the Midwest most of her life, transferring from school to school before settling down in the outskirts of Chicago ten years ago, where she now resides with her husband and two kids. She developed a love of reading at a young age, which helped lay the foundation for her passion to write. With the encouragement of her family, she finally sat down and wrote one of the many stories that have been floating around in her head. When she isn’t reading or writing, she can be found playing with her kids, talking to her mom on the phone, or hanging out with her family and friends. But after chasing around twin preschoolers all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after putting the kids to bed.
You can find Michelle on her website, twitter, or Goodreads.

“You are my brother’s girl. If he can’t be here, then I will take care of
you.” He starts looking around on my
dresser.
“Now you’re the one not in the
loop. I’m not your brother’s girl
anymore,” I reveal, trying to keep the tears from streaming down.
“I heard something about that, but
you’re still Trent’s girl. Just look at
those eyes.” He points to me.
“What?” I ask, blotting my eyes with my fingers.
“You are about two minutes away from
crying over him. I’m not asking again,
Maddy. I will wait for you outside your
door. You have five minutes.” He walks
out, shutting the door behind him.
I reluctantly throw the comforter off
me, getting out of bed. I guess a shower
is out of the question so I shrug on my shorts and t-shirt and slip on some
flip-flops. We are in the middle of an
Indian summer so I want to make sure I am comfortable on whatever excursion
Gabe is planning for me today. I brush
my hair, putting some mascara on my lashes.
I grab my ID, phone and money and open the door.
Gabe is resting against the wall,
playing with his phone while girls stare him down as they walk by. He walks me around campus, serving as my
unofficial tour guide. We lick our ice cream cones from his favorite place,
laughing over funny stories he tells me about each place we pass.
By the end of the day, my cheeks hurt
from smiling
and laughing so much. I can't remember a day that
I've had so much fun lately, and I can’t believe I
have Gabe to thank.
