Chasing Love

There aren't many things Charlie Littleton values more than his lifelong friendship with his buddy Lucas, currently home from a tour in Iraq. But when he discovers that Lucas's younger sister, Lila, is back to assist the town's overburdened veterinarian, Charlie is torn. She's no longer the skinny, awkward kid he remembers, but a gorgeous woman-one Lucas would never approve of him dating. When Lucas asks him to watch out for Lila when he's called to duty again, Charlie can't say no-but he can't pretend it's easy to ignore his feelings either. As a teen, Lila crushed on Charlie-hard-and the man he's grown up to be is even more wonderful than she dreamed. Relationships are a tricky business, though, and too much history is at stake to risk one now. But every moment they're together is heated by their simmering attraction-and one day an impulsive kiss leads to much more. What's tangled in a matter of loyalty soon becomes a question of the kind of love worth chasing... "An emotional story filled with heart, humor, and second chances, is a love letter to small towns, southern pride, and the heartbeat of all tight communities-its strong families. I laughed, I cried, and I never wanted to leave. An incredible story!" --Rachel Harris, bestselling author
