It Was Always You — Aliyah Burke

When it's right, it's right…



Zane Kendrick returns home after being in the Army for twenty-two years empty and unsure what his future holds for him. Then he runs into Zoe Duncan working in her father's shop. When Zane sees Zoe again he realizes she's no longer the little girl who followed her brothers and his around. This Zoe is all woman.



Zoe Duncan has loved Zane forever. For years he's been the object of all her fantasies. So when the opportunity arrives for her to be with him for real, she can't refuse. But the one-night stand doesn't change anything. When all is said and done, Zane is still off limits, and Zoe's not about to risk the relationship between their families just to satisfy her own desires.



Fortunately for her, Zane isn't the kind of man to easily let go of what he wants, and what he wants is Zoe. When trouble arrives at her door he's there, promising to be the kind of steadfast hero Zoe can count on. Will that be enough to convince Zoe to let him in and give their relationship a shot?
