Low Country Hero--A Clean & Wholesome Romance

January 1, 2019
Fleeing her abusive ex, Anna George makes her way to Safe Haven, South Carolina, with her five-year-old twin girls in tow. She wants a nice community where they can settle down. But when she begins fearing that her ex knows where they are and will come after them, she might have to move on. Sean O'Dwyer didn't intend to grow close to this little family, but Anna reminds him of his childhood and what his mom went through before disappearing. As their friendship turns into romance, both have to face their pasts and decide what they really want in their future. Fans of Debbie Macomber will appreciate this start to a new series by McClain that blends sweet, small-town romance with such serious issues as domestic abuse. The romance itself is nothing new?a protective alpha male becomes savior to the wounded, kind, and beautiful �heroine?but readers craving a feel-good romance with a bit of suspense will be satisfied. A plot thread regarding Sean's mom indicates a continuation in upcoming books.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
