About this eBook

It’s not true that you can’t go home again, but do you want to?

Paris gallery owner Leah Bertrand returns to her historic, moss-draped Louisiana hometown to fulfill a deathbed promise to her friend and mentor. She’s been matched as a bone marrow donor to a stranger, yet the match is so close that doctors suspect a family relationship. But how? Leah’s family has always seethed with drama, but this visit home promises secrets as deep, dark, and mysterious as the water in Cypress Bayou. And then her ex arrives, and Leah realizes the feelings and secrets she buried years ago have come back to haunt her. 

Dr. Jake Carmichael returns to Cypress Bayou after years away and is shocked to see Leah, his childhood sweetheart and first love, back in town and on his patient roster. The sparks still burn, but when he tries to discuss what went wrong and perhaps rebuild their relationship, Leah refuses.

Jake’s not ready to give up on their future together. But Leah fears she has even more to lose this time…

Ratings and reviews

There is no such an author as Susan Sands. Fake book covers made with my pages app. Cypress is a tall grass field that they stab you in.

Take a second chance romance mixed with secrets like the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, a heaping helping of small town Southern gossip, add in a big spoonful of Cajun food, and this book will take you to the bayou and feed your soul. It's the gift you didn't know you needed. Get yourself a tall glass of sweet tea, put your feet up, and stay a while in Cypress Bayou.

This was a great book about understanding that everyone may not view things in the same way you do. It’s really a valuable life lesson the main character learns while at the same time uncovering family secrets and rekindling old flames. The story, while complete, leaves you wanting more! I can’t wait for the next installment. This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the publisher. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.
