Fleeing an abusive marriage, Raylene Hammond has returned to Serenity and the comfort and protection of her friends. Unfortunately, the constant abuse in her marriage has created a fear that won’t let her leave the house. When she meets Deputy Sheriff Carter Rollins they both want to have a relationship, but with fear keeping Raylene trapped in her house and Carter raising his teenage sisters, neither is sure exactly how to make it work. Then Raylene’s vindictive ex-husband gets out of prison and is determined to see her pay. Can two people who have come to love each other find a way around their circumstances and be happy together?

I LOVED Honeysuckle Summer!! Raylene and Carter in turns broke and warmed my heart. With the always welcome addition of other Serenity favorites you can’t go wrong with this book. Raylene and Carter maybe my favorite characters since Maddie and Cal of Stealing Home! Don’t miss out on Honeysuckle Summer!
