A Lovely Condition

Anna Robinson and Max Anderson grow up in the charming, small town of Tenacity, Mississippi, where the whole town turns out for high school football and Big Mama’s Café is everyone’s favorite gathering place. Next-door-neighbors and constant childhood companions, Max and Anna remain friends throughout high school, until a kiss behind the school gym fast-tracks their friendship into full-blown romantic love. The future looks rosy, until Max makes a mistake that wrenches them apart and compels them to leave Tenacity.

Six years later, Anna vows to end her obsession with the handsome young neighbor who broke her teenaged heart. Facing her demons, she returns to her hometown, to renovate the house she grew up in and write her next novel. When she discovers that Max, once again, lives in the house next door, Anna fears she won’t keep that vow. For Max, the man, is even sexier and more amazing than the boy she fell in love with.

Max wants Anna back in his life, but can he get her to trust him again? While he strives to gain her forgiveness, danger lurks around the corner. Someone is intent on preventing his happiness, and the people Max cares about are in danger. He’s desperate to find a way to protect them. It’s a lot for one man to contend with, but lives depend on his success.
