Falling in love with your ex should never feel this good ... Twelve years, three cities, and too many pairs of stilettos later, Shaelyn Lawrence is back in the one place she vowed never to return: New Orleans. Thankfully, her hometown stint is temporary: help her grandmother, avoid her high school sweetheart, Brady, like the plague, and everything should be perfect, right? Until one run-in with Brady changes everything. She shouldn’t be tempted by his drawl or the promise of his kiss. But when a family member approaches Shaelyn for help, the only person she can turn to is the man who stole her heart . . . and is tempting her to take a second chance on him. Twelve years later, New Orleans Homicide Detective Brady Taylor is geared up for a promotion. Or, he would be -- if he wasn't sitting in third place. He's cut out every distraction to focus on his career. . . until Shaelyn shows up. He shouldn't want to pursue her, kiss her, or sleep with her, right? Except that resisting Shaelyn has never been possible, and he vows that this time will be different. But when she asks him for help, suddenly he has to decide between his career . . . and the woman he’s never stopped loving. For fans of Jill Shalvis and Lauren Layne, Maria Luis' new sexy contemporary romance will leave you laughing and desperate for more! SAY YOU'LL BE MINE is the first full-length novel in the NOLA Heart series, but can be read as a standalone.
