Ryan's Kiss: Lake Hope Small Town Romance Book One

By Mel Walker

Three years ago, he stole her heart-and then he broke it. Now, he's back to return it.

To the world, Ryan Parker is the golden boy of pro volleyball. To Candice Wells, he's the ex-best friend who turned their special connection into a humiliation she's never forgotten. Candice has spent three years rebuilding her confidence and her business in Destiny Falls, trading her college crush for a successful career in finance. She's finally happy. Or at least, she was, until Ryan rolled back into town in his vintage Honda Civic, looking better than ever.

Ryan Parker spent the last three years in Italy becoming a sports sensation, but he's never been able to outrun his biggest regret. He didn't leave town just to chase a trophy; he left because he knew he wasn't the man Candice deserved yet. Now, he's back with a plan to prove he's finally worthy of her heart.

From awkward run-ins at her yoga studio to romantic dates at a roadside rib shack, Ryan is pulling out all the stops to win her back. But Candice has locked her heart away, terrified that the man who once treated their love like a game will only break her again.

Ryan knows he's fighting an uphill battle, but this time, he's playing for keeps. Can he convince his "Candy Girl" that their second chance is worth the risk?

She was his best friend. He should have known better.

Fall in love with the boy next door all over again. One-click Ryan's Kiss for a heartwarming, closed-door romance about forgiveness, found family, and the courage to trust again.
