Falling for Nick — Joleen James

It's taken Clea Rose ten years to get over the one night she spent with bad boy Nick Lombard -- a night of teenage passion that produced her son, and sent Nick to prison for murder. Now, with her life finally back on track, Clea's about to marry a wonderful man and leave town for a promising career in New York. The last thing she expects is Nick's return and the intense feelings he stirs within her. Sent to prison for a murder he didn't commit, Nick Lombard comes home to the tiny town of Port Bliss to attend his mother's funeral, but he doesn't count on running into Clea. Seeing her reminds him of everything he's tried to forget, and everything he longs to remember. When Nick learns Clea is about to marry the man who sent Nick to prison, he knows he must stay and fight for the family he was forced to leave behind. Against all odds, Nick and Clea must find their way back to the summer they were young lovers on the beach in Port Bliss, realizing that together their love is strong, strong enough to survive anything, even the web of lies that separated them ten years ago.
