About this ebook
Until Drew admitted to everyone he was in love with her. Although she still regrets making her childhood sweetheart look foolish, Drew left Brier no choice but to run away like a thief in the night. Her disappearance should have been the proof Drew needed to recognize Brier was keeping his true affections at bay.
Because no man—no matter how hot, or how much southern charm he had—would hold Brier back from becoming a police officer. And Brier wasn’t handing over her heart to anyone who thought her dreams were silly. Or worse, someone who believed keeping Brier barefoot and pregnant was the best use of her trust fund …Even if for a split-second years ago, Brier had the sneaking suspicion that having a family with Drew might not turn out to be a miserable life sentence.
Call him a hopeless romantic, yet Drew Newhouse still believes he and Brier are meant to be. After all, the feisty blonde is the woman who taught him to never back down from a challenge. Rather than pine for a reckless girl who wasn’t ready to settle down, Drew set out to prove he was a better man. His ambition took him from a small town high school team all the way to playing professional football.
Sidelined by a season-ending injury and recovering at Kingsbrier, Drew has two objectives: Do whatever it takes to get back on the field, and show Brier that this time with her he is determined to play for keeps. Drew knows it will take more than teaming up with the other quintuplets to convince Brier to put her heart on the line and give their relationship a second chance.
However, the last move Drew anticipates is Brier risking her life for love.

About the author
Before becoming an international bestselling author, Jody Kaye used to cook dinner for her family …Or so her three sons say, since she still maintains they began eating the meal ingredients for snacks around the same time.
It makes her wonder if the phrase “just 5 more minutes” only counted for video games and not toward penning the last paragraph of a romance novel?
A voracious reader, Jody has written over 25 small-town books, including the steamy southern Kingsbrier and angsty Shattered Hearts of Carolina series. Among her emotionally relatable cast of characters are coming of age twenty-year-olds and later-in-life single parents. She even threw in a psychic medium for a dash of suspense!
Jody currently resides in North Carolina with her husband, who continually proves an insta-love romance can last a lifetime—and who’s glad he talked her into being a writer and out of the bougie French stove she drooled over.
Her children have either moved out or are currently waiting in line for their take-out order. She’s hungry and hopes they ordered extra fries.
