Happy Friday and welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. Jennifer Rodewald is one of my must-read contemporary romance authors, so I’m always happy when there’s a new novel from her. The third book in her Murphy Brothers series released earlier this week, and it’s one that will likely have your heart in a vice for all sorts of reasons. Everything Behind Us is currently available for just $0.99 in eBook format and is also available through Kindle Unlimited, so there are really no excuses! Especially if you love heartfelt contemporary romance.
About the Book
Connor Murphy lives by a code of honor and service. Dignified, duty-bound, and responsible, he’s spent the past eight years as a single enlisted airman, determined never to mess up another person’s life the way he did Sadie’s. As long as he follows orders, does his job well, and avoids romantic entanglements, he’ll do just fine. Of course, that last part was easier before Sadie rolled back into town.
Sadie Allen never intended to return to Sugar Pine—her hometown hosts too much regret—but she can’t face her health crisis alone. Not with a four-year-old depending on her. Even so, Connor Murphy’s proposal of a marriage of convenience wasn’t exactly what she had in mind. She can’t fault his reasoning—her prognosis is grim and her son could use a father—but her heart aches at the thought of a marriage without romance. Especially to the one man she’s never gotten over.
The day-to-day challenges of Sadie’s illness are enough to strain the strongest relationships, let alone one hastily conceived in the shadow of past mistakes. Will the pressure be too much for their marriage to withstand, or will they allow God to forge something beautiful through their pain?
