The Playboy Who Fell First: A He-Falls-First Small-Town Romance

By DELIA MARSH

He falls first. He falls hardest. And he's the one person she can't afford to trust.

Investigative journalist Iris Vale came to Cape Wren for one story: a woman's name, buried in a chained-shut library, appearing one hundred and seven times and nowhere else. She did not come for Jack Endicott - the town charmer, the playboy the magazines adore, the man who somehow keeps turning up wherever the work is hardest.

Jack knows exactly what Iris is circling. He's carried the same secret for three years - a folder he can't put down, a truth that could save his brother or sink the family. He also knows, the moment she walks in soaked to the knee and utterly unimpressed, that he's already lost.

She's chasing the story. He's the story she's chasing.

Book Four of The Endicotts of Cape Wren. A slow-burn, closed-door small-town romance. For fans of Carley Fortune and Susan Mallery.

Tropes: he-falls-first - journalist heroine - small-town romance - slow burn - forced proximity - family secrets - closed door.
