Love Me Steadfast - A small town...

Dakota Davies

From USA Today bestselling author Dakota Davies comes a small town suspense romance about a star quarterback and the shy musician he’s never stopped loving.

When I fell in love with my best friend’s little sister, we were just kids. Not that it mattered. Charlotte was my forever. I knew it then and I know it now. But everything fell apart that summer before college. I tried to fight for us, but it was impossible, not with our goals pulling us apart, and her silence. Now she’s back in our small town to care for her sister, and I’m not about to squander an opportunity to win her back.

But even though she’s moved into my guest room, she keeps avoiding me. It’s maddening. I moved back to Finn River to put down roots. I became a firefighter and in my spare time, I run the music club Charlotte and her sister first played at. I’m not the reckless kid I once was, prioritizing my dreams over hers. I’m here, ready to build a life together, if only she’d stop being so damn stubborn and let me try.

But a shocking discovery that finally gives me the real reason she pushed me away eight years ago changes everything. Can I right the wrongs of the past without sacrificing our only shot at a second chance?

Author’s note: Love Me Steadfast is the sixth installment in the Love Me Dangerous series but can be read as a stand-alone. Please check content warnings for this book as it contains sensitive subjects that may be upsetting to some readers. Will and Charlie’s dual timeline romance is emotional and though devastating at times, their happily ever after is deeply healing and uplifting.
