About this ebook

Dallas detective wins the lottery—but his heart still belongs to the girl next door.

Dallas homicide detective Gunner Kingston enjoys his job and thinks he's all set until a gifted lottery ticket turns out to be a winner. Determined to keep his winnings under wraps, he plans to escape the spotlight. But when a dangerous case pushes him to the edge, it's childhood friend Holly Dillion who becomes his anchor—and his greatest temptation.

Returning to the small town where they first fell in love, Gunner finds more than safety; he finds a future worth risking everything for. With pulse-pounding suspense, heartfelt second-chance romance, and Sharon Sala's signature emotional depth, DAYBREAK is a heartfelt leap into love, trust, and the power of coming home.

Ratings and reviews

disappointing, read through til the end. think that book is about 100 pages too long. kept checking to see how many pages were left. I already have first 2 books in this series but just can't justify purchasing this one. fyi read library copy instead. sorry, ms sala.

Many missed opportunities to enhance the story. Good concept lacked depth.
