Ready to Fall by Anne Connor

A year ago, the boy next door asked me to marry him. Then he walked away.Travis is the guy my dad warned me about.Six-foot-one, ripped, and tattooed.Drives too fast, spends too much time working on old cars – getting dirty, working with his hands.
Definitely not the kind of guy the police chief’s shy daughter is supposed to be with.
But I couldn’t resist his smile. At the end of every day, we’d say goodnight through our windows.
Then he tempted me with something more. He claimed me – all of me – and I fell for him.

The next thing I knew, I was being questioned by my dad’s cop buddy. Being asked if I knew Travis’ whereabouts the night a crime was committed in our sleepy town.He confessed. He went to prison for a year. I can’t believe he’s guilty, but that means he chose to leave me.He broke my heart, but I can’t get over him. The way he made me moan and laugh, the way he teased me and tugged my hair. The way he showed me things this little town would never be able to. Those memories never really left me the way he left me.Now he’s back in town, and he says he’s ready to claim what’s his.He’s demanding another chance – but I don’t know if I’m ready to fall.
