Bayou Beloved

Quaid Havery always knew how his life would go: law school, then home to Papillon to take over his father's practice. As the only lawyer in a town this size he has handled every kind of dispute the bayou can produce, and very little surprises him any more.

Jayna Cardet never intended to come back. But her life turned over, and Papillon is where she landed — practicing law in the town she left, with Quaid Havery, the boy she had a hopeless crush on in high school, as opposing counsel.

He is finally, belatedly, noticing that she exists. Lexi Blake closes the Butterfly Bayou series with a warm second-chance romance between two people who have to argue their way to each other.
