Being the Sheriff's sons in the small town of Varner, Alabama wasn't easy. But being in love with the same girl was even harder. 

Since her first day in Kindergarten, Theo and Lukas Thatcher have protected Norah Hawthorne as if she were their own sister. But as they grow up, so do their feelings. 

But when graduation rolls around and Norah takes a mysterious scholarship and Theo is suddenly shipped off to the Army a few weeks later, Lukas is left to follow in his father's footsteps. 

It's not until his brother is killed-in-action and Norah shows back up in Varner with a little boy a few years later, that he understands exactly why she left. 

After all these years, Lukas can't help but still feel protective of Norah and now that he's the new Sheriff, he can finally protect her how he always dreamed he could. 
Until he discovers the truth. 

Can time heal his wounds when lies and deception is all that surrounds their past? And can Norah learn to forgive the people who hurt her most and move on with her life? 

One little boy may be the answer to heal both their hearts.

Between Two Hearts In a quiet Southern town where whispers carry farther than the wind, Alaina finds herself trapped in the storm of her own emotions. Life was simpler when it was just her and Alex, her steadfast childhood sweetheart. Alex's easygoing charm and familiar warmth had always made her feel safe-like home. But lately, their love, once full of promise, has started to feel like a cage. Then came Damien. Mysterious and magnetic, he arrived in town with a past he kept hidden and eyes that seemed to see straight into her soul. His presence was a stark contrast to the life Alaina knew. With him, she felt free-alive in a way she never had before. As her feelings for Damien grew, so did her guilt. Alex had stood by her through everything, through heartbreaks and triumphs. He loved her completely, even when she doubted herself. But how could she ignore the pull she felt toward Damien? His quiet intensity and the way he challenged her to dream bigger, to think of a life beyond the town's borders, were impossible to resist. Caught between two loves-one rooted in comfort and history, the other in uncharted passion-Alaina struggles to find herself amidst the chaos. Her decision will not only define her future but risk tearing apart everything she holds dear. As Alaina confronts the delicate balance between the love that built her and the love that awakens her, she must decide: will she follow her heart's desire or stay loyal to the one who has always been by her side?

29 parts Complete Mature
"All week, you've been on my mind, and I can't make it go away. Finally, after suffering in silence for so long at the thought of your lips, your laugh, and your smile..." Aaron trailed off, his eyes roamed my face. "All week?" I scoffed pulling away. "I've been in love with you for twenty years!" "We've been friends since childhood, and I've accepted that we're just not meant to be. I've tried to move on and you encouraged me to follow my dreams. I just... I didn't know that my dream was you." . ✧ . Bethany grew up in a small town in rural Alabama. Her older brother and her best friend had been the only closest people to her for years. Until they all graduated together and went their separate ways. Struggling to stay in touch with one another with their developing, adult lives. Years ago Bethany had fallen head over heels in love with the most popular guy in town, Aaron Russel. But confessing her feelings had always been something she would never do. After all Aaron was her best friend's brother who never gave Bethany a second thought. Or so she thought. Bethany had always been the typical nerdy girl without any fashion sense. Aaron was the complete opposite. Aaron throughout school was the class clown, football quarterback with dozens of friends that hung onto his every word. Girls at his beck and call. And high school only enriched his popularity. And now almost a decade later they all have the opportunity to see each other again at their ten year high school reunion. Now Bethany had the chance to show everyone she grew up with how much she changed. Her thriving career out of state finally gaining confidence and sophistication transforming into a whole new woman. It took Aaron and Bethany some time to realize what they wanted and what they needed in life. And it took them even more time to confess who they were truly in love with.
