Sacred Ties

Growing up as the pastor's daughter in Coastal Bay, South Carolina, Grace Carrington has always lived by the rules. Her father's strict beliefs leave no room for her dreams-especially her dream of becoming a librarian at the local library.

Chris Reyes swore he'd never return to this small town after the tragic death of his girlfriend. But he's back now, to care for his sick father and raise his son. The last thing he expects is Grace's sunny smile to stir feelings he thought were long buried.

When Chris serves Grace her first margarita on her twenty-first birthday, a forbidden romance begins to blossom. In a town where secrets are hard to keep, Grace and Chris must navigate a world full of gossip, desires, and a love neither of them saw coming-but one that might just save them both.
