Hard to Shake: The Baxter Boys ~ Rattled, #9

By Jane Charles

Scarlett Hannigan is really good at running away. She's had quite a bit of practice. In the beginning, she'd run away from her family. She'd ran straight into the arms of a man. His name was Tony Volta, and she was pretty sure he was THE ONE… until he wasn't.

Tony had finally found the right woman, one he wanted to share his life with. But then, one day, he'd come home and found her gone. She'd disappeared, just like she did when she left her family. Only Tony, an FBI guy, wasn't willing to sit around and wait for her to return. He did what any reasonable, smart man who is desperately in love with a woman would do. He goes to the only place he knows he'll find her. And he waits. And waits. And waits. And six months later, she's back. He knew she would come home eventually. He just wishes that he was that home for her.

The day of reckoning has arrived. Scarlett must face her family and the man she loves all at the same time. Her family might forgive her. But can Tony? At the very least, he deserves an explanation. She deserves to get back the things she left behind. The most important thing she left behind – his heart.

Jane Charles has lived in the Midwest her entire life. As a child she would more likely be found outside with a baseball than a book in her hand. In fact, Jane hated reading until she was sixteen. Out of boredom on a long road trip she borrowed her older sister’s historical romance and fell in love with reading. She long ago lost count of how many fiction novels she has read over the years and her love for them never died.  Along with romance she has a passion for history and the two soon combined when she penned her first historical romance.  What turned into a hobby became a passion, which has been fully supported by her husband, three children and three cats.
