Romance Contemporary

Colton Harper was a wild teenager. He decided when he was eighteen, that he wanted nothing more than to leave his home town. He leaves with his girlfriend Daisy. Not only do they both leave town, but they get married. One day Daisy wakes up and Colton is gone.

Fast forward a few years later, and they meet up again when Colton stops at a diner and Daisy is working there. They have a wild night together and once again Colton disappears.

Daisy never understood why Colton up and left her both times. Colton has a deep secret that he doesn't want to share with Daisy. Several years later, Daisy shows back up in their home town. To the shock of Colton, he finds out that they never were divorced.

What a delightful book to sink my teeth into. Shirley Jump writes about how life can have it's ups and downs. The two main characters certainly have had their problems in their short married life. Shirley Jump shows how no matter what true love will prevail.

Shirley Jump has a lot of warmth in THE SWEETHEART SECRET. It shows the true meaning of how family and friends can help each other out no matter what the problems are.

SUMMARY

Colton Harper, Rescue Bay’s resident physician, gave up
his
wild ways years ago, in exchange for a straight and narrow
life. But then a one-night stand comes back to haunt him
when the intoxicating woman he left behind shows up in
Rescue Bay.

Once upon a time, fiery Daisy Barton was Colt’s wifeβ€”and
still is, thanks to a paperwork glitch. Now she’s here in
Rescue Bay, with a once-in-a-lifetime chance at a fresh
startβ€”renovating a crumbling B&B. The catch? The loan she
needs requires her β€œhusband’s” financial backing.

Colt wants to turn Daisy away, but when he sees her coax a
smile from his cantankerous grandfather, Colt realizes
maybe
she can help him, too. It’s the perfect arrangementβ€”until
the sparks start flying. Suddenly Colt realizes he’s still
head over heels in love with Daisy, and that he’ll have to
risk everything…or risk losing her forever.
