From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes the final poignant love story in the Arrowood Brothers Series.
Hollywood taught me everything I know about relationships—except how to be in one. As an actor, I became an expert at faking it. Faking that I wasn't affected by my childhood. Faking that I was okay. Faking that I knew how to save the day, the girl, the whole damn world.
But I've always known the truth—I’m no one's hero.
Until I’m forced to move back to Sugarloaf for six months, and Brenna Allen offers me a chance to prove otherwise. She’s everything I never knew I wanted, but can't have. Her broken heart, perfect face, and adorable children turn my world upside down. Instead of preparing for my next leading role, I’m directing a middle school play.
All to make her smile.
The more time I spend here, the more I want to stay. Build a life in this town that I swore I’d leave—for her.
But when the world comes crashing down around us, I’m forced to decide if staying for her is the right choice or if leaving is better for the woman I love.
"Removing half the feather will create the curve and alter its course."
Wow, what a way to end this series about four lost brothers reluctantly returning home and finally finding peace there.
It is Jacob Arrowood's turn to do his six-month stint in his hometown of Sugarloaf as a stipulation of his father's will. He is leaving Hollywood and not too thrilled about his stay in a tiny house on his brother's property in a town he left and never planned on living in again...but he will do it for his brothers. They have all come home and found love, happiness, and restarted their lives. But Jacob thinks he is happy being single and living life on the big screen playing a hero...but he knows he could never be one in real life. Their father did such a good job ruining their self-worth that they have all believed they do not deserve love or happiness. But his charm, good looks, and big heart mask his inner demons.

Brenna Allen is new to town and she knows loss. She is a military widow and single mom just trying to start a new life. An innocent favor for her son to meet his superhero sets Jacob and Brenna on a crash course neither saw coming. She is a psychologist and tries to maintain a semblance of order and control for her children. Jacob kind of shakes up her world and makes it fun to let go.
They try to deny their attraction. There are so many reasons they should not pursue it. She is still grieving and finding her feet, and has no plans to move again. She also has her kids to think about. He is just in town for six months and plans to return to Hollywood for his career. But these two just cannot seem to resist. And they believe that it is worth letting go of the fear just to have a few months of something great even as they think they can hide it.
But as things become more involved, they will both have to decide if the other is worth the risk. And if they do forge ahead, they will have some significant challenges to overcome.
This is an emotional, heartfelt, single mom, and movie star romance. It brings some surprises and difficult moments. There were some things I did not see coming and had me on the edge of my seat. I adored Jacob. He was such a protector and so afraid of hurting her, her kids, or himself. And he never felt he deserved to have true love. And Brenna had so much to lose...again...but could not keep heart closed off to him. But she seems destined to always be the one left behind. I also loved her kids, Melanie and Sebastian, and how much a part of the story they were.
All of the Arrowood brothers and their significant others and children are back bringing the humor, support, and family ribbing. It is inspiring despite their tragic history that they have all come home to find their true place, contentment, and happiness. It also has some fun cameos from other books that made me smile. The additional epilogue ties up this series so well and just left my heart so full of love for this crew. I will miss them! But I am intrigued by the side character that will be the start of a spin-off series.

From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes a new emotional and riveting love story in the first standalone novel in the Arrowood Brothers series.
One night, eight years ago, she gave me peace.
No names.
No promises.
Just two broken people, desperate to quiet their pain and grief.
In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania.
When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget.
And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen.
Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right. Because when long-ago secrets are exposed, rocking us both to the core, I have no choice but to watch her walk away again. . .

I fell in love with Sydney Hastings when I was ten years old.
At sixteen, we whispered promises of forever.
When I was twenty-two I broke them all. I left her and promised never to return.
After my father's death, I’m forced to go home to Sugarloaf for six months. She'll be everywhere, no longer just in my memories and regrets.
When we’re together, it’s as though time never stopped. She’s still the one I want, but I don’t deserve her. Instead of apologizing, I take that beautiful, broken woman in my arms. But after that, it’s her turn to leave me.
Now I have to fight. For her. For us. For the life we both want …

Kim's 5 star review
New York Times bestselling author, Corinne Michaels, brings a new sweet and endearing love story to life in the third STANDALONE in the Arrowood Brothers series.
Devney Maxwell has been my best friend since we were six years old, but she has no idea I’m in love with her.
Even when I’m on the road playing professional baseball, she’s my home—the only one I’ve ever known. But when I return to Sugarloaf to care for the family farm, I discover she’s trying to talk herself into a life with the wrong man … and I become desperate.
It only takes a single, perfect kiss to change everything.
I have six months to get it right with Devney—to convince her to leave this town and turn that kiss into forever.
I aim to do just that as I spend my days coaching her nephew’s baseball team, fixing up the farm, and loving her with all I have. Finally, it seems like our relationship is secure and we’ll find a way to make it work.
Then tragedy strikes ... changing her life forever. She’s needed here more than ever, but as for me—there’s no way I can stay.
I know she’s the one for me, but I might have to let her go ...
