The Small Town Boy S Second Chance Richmond Rebels Sweet Romance Book 3

Foster can’t forget Holland’s betrayal. Foster Truax is standing firmly on the right side of the law – he’s grown up since his younger, wilder days, and is firmly committed to helping his brothers make the Richmond Rebel’s shop the best in Virginia. He’s no longer street racing. The past is the past, including the “girl” who rode beside him when he was Richmond’s unofficial champion street racer back in high school. Holland Powell has always been a good girl. She ran with the right crowd in school, got her college degree, a fabulous job, the right husband and had two children with that husband, before he walked out, taking her job, her kids and her self-esteem. When she’s involved in a car accident and needs a place to recover, she has no choice but to move back in with her mother and face the boy who represented her only walk on the wrong side of anything, and who she could never forget. The past lies between them, thick and heavy and impossible to overcome; except their attraction is there too, sparking and charging the air in the house they share. Is it possible they could develop a friendship to bridge the gap between trust and passion? Reviews for The Small Town Boy's Secret Romance: ★★★★★ "I love these rebel brothers with their protective natures." - nanc ★★★★★ "Jessie Gussman created two interesting characters with lots of dimensions, Foster and Holland. Their romance touched my heart and I was completely immersed in this second chance romance.” – Sara ★★★★★ “One more fantastic story from Jessie Gussman! I am loving this sweet bad boy series!” - Jan ★★★★★ "A story of healing and growth but also of understanding and acceptance. This author doesn't do the crazy strung out angst where a question can be asked and answered to clear the air. Nope her characters are real and honest and talk it out. Her books are easy light reads that will touch your heart and show God's way without the preaching and leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy." - Teri ★★★★★ "Many of us know of or witnessed someone in a situation like Holland's. Thankfully Jessie Gussman never shies away from a rough topic in her books. Instead she shines! This book to me demonstrates the message of forgiveness over bitterness." - Jan Books in The Small Town Boys series: The Small Town Boy's Redemption The Small Town Boy's Secret Romance The Small Town Boy's Second Chance

She doesn’t laugh. He can’t be serious. How will they ever work together? County librarian Harris Winsted can’t believe she lost her leading man. No. What she really can’t believe is that her friends think Harris’s childhood nemesis, Turbo Baxter, might be able to play the part. Even if it is just a small production to raise money for a hospital library, Turbo’s class-clown personality makes him a disastrous choice. However opening night is three short weeks away. Left with Turbo as her only option, she can only hope he suddenly develops a brain, decorum and a big boil on his handsome face, because when the guy decides to be charming, he is irresistible. But the attraction stops there. She could never be with a man who professes his hatred of libraries and laughs about never reading a book. Turbo Baxter always knew the harmless pranks he’d pulled over the years might catch up to him, but he never expected his brothers, and their wives, would seek revenge by blackmailing him. But, without another choice, he agrees to their terms: one stuffy librarian’s play in exchange for free repairs to his rig. He’s ready to get back on the road and away from books, libraries, and, most of all, beautiful librarians who are in desperate need of a good laugh. His joking nature masks a dark secret. Will she turn away if he trusts her with the one thing that could make her hate him?

When Liberty Watkins delivers flowers to the local auto shop owned by the Truax boys, who does she run into? Blade Truax. She hasn’t seen Blade in years, mainly because he’s been in prison serving a sentence based solely on the testimony of Libby’s sister, Mariam. Yes, Libby and Blade have history. In fact, that summer, right before he’d been charged with sexually assaulting her sister, Libby and Blade had been meeting secretly almost every day. And Libby had felt something for him—something major. She thought he’d felt it too. Was that why she still questioned her sister’s testimony, because she wanted so badly to believe in Blade? Or was it something else? Blade doesn’t trust women anymore, for obvious reasons, but he particularly doesn’t trust women with the last name Watkins. So, when Libby Watkins shows up at his family business, he isn’t happy. How dare she stand there pretending there had been nothing between them. Did she even remember that it was her he’d been waiting to meet that fateful night when his entire life went down the toilet? They should not be together. There is way too much pain down that road for any kind of redemption. But it looks like fate has other plans when, despite Blade’s objections, Libby is hired to be the auto shop’s new office assistant.
