Fighting for Us

Asher Bailey once had a girl, a family and a plan for his future. Prison took all of it. Now, seven years later, he is back in Tilikum, Washington, bigger and harder than the man who left, and still haunted by what he did to get through.

Asher is sure he and Grace cannot be together anymore. Grace sees it differently. She waited the whole time and still wears the ring he gave her. Neither his stubbornness nor the rumors that run through town will push her away.

His brothers are close by, a rowdy bunch who love a good prank. Their noise fills the house while Asher and Grace try to work out whether a relationship can survive his trauma and the town's constant talk.

The romance is a second-chance story about a couple separated by a prison sentence. It concludes the love story begun in the first book of the Bailey Brothers series, so it reads best after that one.

The small town is one where everyone has an opinion, and the family scenes bring some humor alongside Asher's struggle to come back from what he lived through. The open question is whether he will let Grace in.
