He’s only a friend.
Those words had haunted him from the moment Jessie James had heard them muttered from the one girl, above all others, that he thought had his back.
Sixteen years later, he still feels those words like a brand on his soul.
Lucky for him he has a son to take care of, a full-time job that demands every single second of the day, and not a single moment to spare for the likes of a woman that won’t stand up for him when he needs her the most.
He’s only a friend.
The words had slipped out of Ellen’s mouth, and before she could recall them or better yet, explain, Jesse is gone from her life for good, taking her heart with him.
She tries to find her way out of the pit of despair, but not one single person, no matter how much she tries, can fill the void that he left in his wake. Time heals all wounds. Or at least that is how the saying goes. It’s a crock of crap, though.
Sixteen years pass when Jessie and Ellen see each other again without the influence of the town and bad memories surrounding them, and it’s as if not a single day has passed.
Ellen knows the instant that her eyes see her old love that she’s still just as much in love with him today as she was all those years ago.
The problem is that Jesse wants nothing to do with her. Or at least that’s what he keeps telling himself.
Amy's 5 Star Review
Powerful, explosive, dramatic, sexy, emotional and overwhelming, a book you need to read!!
Meet Jessie and Ellen from teen age lovers pulled apart by too many people through uncontrollable circumstances Jessie has a disruptive life style with a young baby called Linc, in order to protect Ellen he decides it's better for him to leave Ellen and let her have the life she deserves.
Ellen finds herself with a new guy at the Dixie Wardens MC trying to build a new life only to walk into the man she's always loved and never been able to move on from despite trying! It's a hateful build up Jessie won't give her any sort of attention she walks into Lincs life fourteen years later to find the man-boy who's his dads absolute double she struggles with her love for both men and decides she needs to move away again it's too hard.
Jessie finally gives into his love for Ellen they start a life together with Linc only for Jessie's pregnant ex to walk into their lives and try to destroy Linc with lies and deceit! Margot is the worst kind of person possible who constantly uses emotional blackmail in order to get what she needs which is mostly drugs.
Its an amazing conclusion I've thoroughly enjoyed it the fact that it's mixed in with a motorcycle club gives it a true family meaning. There are so many twists and turns to this story.
I very highly recommend this book to anyone. Lani Lynn Vale has done an amazing book I really hope Linc gets his own book.

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
