Nearly two decades after she left Halfway, Nebraska, Audrey Porter returns to the small town she once called home following the death of her beloved grandmother. With Nana gone, she must protect the family farm from her opportunistic mother. It isn’t long before she is reminded of all the reasons she moved away. Though she no longer lets the small-town gossips bother her, ignoring the rekindled feelings she has for her teenage crush proves more difficult.
For the last twenty years, Nate Dawson has been the hometown hero. High school football star, cattle ranching royalty, and now the county sheriff, he is admired, desired, and respected. But beneath his controlled, no-nonsense exterior is the tender heart of a young man who never forgot the girl who got away. With Audrey finally within reach, the smitten sheriff is determined not to waste his second chance.
As Audrey works through her grief, battles her mother in court, and wrestles with the decision to keep or sell the farm, Nate refuses to let her push him away. Will surrendering to the love she has always wanted bring Audrey home for good?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A USA Today and #1 international bestselling author, Maddie is a lifelong reader who became a romance junkie as a teen with her first romance novel, The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss. From then on, she was hooked, and gobbled up everything she could get her hands on, whether contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi. If there was romance to be found between a strong alpha male, and a sassy, adventurous and ofttimes defiant yet loving woman, Maddie was all over it. As an author, she stays true to those themes writing steamy erotic romance, with a side of kink, and adding elements of intrigue, danger and suspense to her plots.
Maddie started writing as a hobby. Her stories stayed private while she raised a family and worked full time as a registered nurse. It wasn't until 2012 that she decided to take the plunge and submit her first book for publication: Captain My Captain. She went on to publish eleven novels the first year.
This is a stand-alone story about two people who grow up in a small town called Halfway, Nebraska. Audrey is 16 for the first four chapters of the story, along with her best friend and neighbor, Nate who is 18. The story then starts on chapter 5 and it takes place 17 years later.
Audrey is 34 in the present. She has been working as a travel nurse for 12 years and she ended up leaving her small town for college midway in her senior year. She is connected to Halfway with her grandmother who still lives in the town but who she has seen on trips and she has never gone home over the last 17 years.
That is until she gets a call from Nate that her grandmother has passed away and she is needed at home. And that begins her journey home, facing her past and the exploration of her very complicated feelings about her hometown and Nate.
This was a really fun, and interesting story. One of the biggest issues in this story is about Audrey's relationship with her very toxic mother. Its one reason that Audrey has had issues living in the town because of her mothers shall we say notoriety.
I also enjoyed watching her and Nate explore their feelings for each other. At times I was like just say what you feel and Nate frustrated me sometimes in the story. He is a really good guy, but I felt at times he was too good, and I wanted him to make Audrey more of a priority and just tell her how he felt about her. I really liked that Audrey is such a strong and independent woman and how she takes ownership of her past, present and future.
