I didn\u2019t plan on having no electricity, no heat, and for the man I\u2019d spent the majority of my life running from to find me. But here I am. Freezing, bleeding, and standing on the doorstep of Adam Harper\u2019s cabin. The cop who happens to be my best friend\u2019s older brother. I should be anywhere else but here. I should have taken his silence for the last two years for what it was. But I\u2019m desperate. The one night we shared may have been a mistake, and he may be Timber Creek\u2019s biggest playboy, but I need help. One knock on his door, one simple question, and I\u2019m suddenly swept back into his arms. But this was just temporary, and once Christmas was over, I\u2019d be back to my normal life.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Except it appears Adam Harper may have other plans\u2026\u2026he wants all of my secrets.

Chanynie sends me a surprise book about a series I absolutely love. How can you not love the characters from Timber Creek.<\/p>\n<p>This is Adam and Bekka\u2019s book and I could not be happier to hear their story.<\/p>\n<p>When Bekka and her mother came to Timber Creek she hooked up with a stranger for one night. Little did she know that he would turn out to be the big brother of her best friend. Bekka became a part of Tilly\u2019s family. Bekka was able to hide how things were going in own family from everyone in the town even her BFF and her family. When Bekka\u2019s past comes knocking on her face literally. With nowhere else to turn she finds herself on her one-night stands porch.<\/p>\n<p>Adam is the town playboy never staying with one girl. When he realizes he had a one-night stand with her little sister\u2019s best friend, Bekka. He knows he has to put and keep distance between him and Bekka. No way he was getting involved with his little sister\u2019s friend.\u00a0 He does a good job of ignoring and avoiding her since that night. That is until she shows up on his porch with a busted face everything changed after that night.<\/p>\n<p>Like any police officer it is his job to find out what happened to Bekka and help her even if she doesn\u2019t want him nosing around in her business. He finds out about the secrets she has been keeping from their family. He now on a mission to make things better for her.<\/p>\n<p>I love these two as much as I do the other characters. These two made my heart happy they have such amazing chemistry. I loved their 10 get to know you questions. My favorite question and answer was about her Blue and white shirt. AWWW. This is one series I cannot get enough of and sure am going to miss it. I loved this Surprise book.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>S.J.
