It Had to Be You (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949270365)

It's hard to keep a big secret in a small town . . .

When Paige Hollister discovers her "Mr. Right" already has a "Mrs. Right," she swears off men forever. Even more humiliating, she suddenly finds herself labeled the other woman and out of the teaching job she loves. So Paige does what every unemployed single woman staring thirty in the face does: She hightails it to the beach. Bad luck like hers is hard to outrun, however. Her getaway is stalled when her car breaks down in a small-town chock full of meddling, nosy residents. The worst of them being the local sheriff-none other than her estranged father.

Finally on top of the golf world, Tanner Gillette is poised to show everyone he's not just an entitled playboy coasting through tournaments on his pedigree. That is until his life is turned upside down by a little girl who shows up on his doorstep with a birth certificate inexplicably bearing his name. Complicating matters more, the kid isn't talking. When the stress of caring for a child whose mother is AWOL gives Tanner a bad case of the yips, he's forced to enlist help from the one person in town who can't wait to leave.

Sticking around Chances Inlet and her father's shiny new, ?er-successful family isn't on Paige's to-do list. Especially when she'd prefer to keep her embarrassing incident under wraps. Yet she can't walk away from the troubled little girl. Or the sexy Australian golfer who just might make her want to take a chance on trusting her heart again.
