Hold Me until Morning

Hailey returns to the small town where she grew up, determined to give her daughter Maddie a stable, happy home after a messy divorce — only to discover her new neighbor is Cody, the crush she never got over. When Hailey's controlling ex threatens her safety, Cody refuses to leave her and Maddie unprotected, and the closeness that follows breaks down every wall of restraint between them, forcing Cody to confront a past he's spent years trying to hide.

A.L. Jackson continues the Time River series with a forced-proximity, single-mom romance where protecting Hailey means Cody can no longer keep his own history buried.
