About this ebook
Can this battle-scarred cowboy find redemption in her arms?
Rory Sullivan has always grown up in her sisters’ shadows. But this summer, she's determined to make some changes. Rekindling her teenage friendship with Pyrite Falls’s prodigal son, Gideon Payne, feels like a good start. She can instantly see he’s in pain, but she’s sick of being afraid of life and she refuses to be intimidated by him. But is she brave enough to act on her attraction to Gideon's raw physicality?
Decorated army hero Gideon’s return has sent the local community into parade-planning overdrive. Except Gideon isn’t the all-around golden boy who left. His life imploded in the same explosion that caused his honorable discharge from the army—he lost his career, his marriage and he damn near lost himself. Gideon knows Rory is far too innocent for someone as damaged as him. But the scorching hunger between them is irresistible… All he can offer is something temporary, unless Rory can make Gideon see he's capable of giving her everything she needs…

Loved this book! This novel is filled with heart and plenty of angst as Rory struggles with finishing things. She sees herself as a failure and plans to move to Boston to change her life. Shortly before her move, Gideon returns to town. Before long, she is smitten and starts to rethink everything. However, as a wounded vet, Gideon has lots of baggage of his own. The author has a gentle touch with some very sensitive issues. This book is poignant and charming. Fans of the genre will love this

The Hometown Legend is a very slow build. Gideon and Rory are honest with each other. Reading their story was group therapy in a book. They made each other think. They made me think. Acceptance didn't come easy between them. The Aw-ha moments were a pleasure to read. Their troubles were heart breaking but their emotional development left me feeling at peace.
