Meet Jack, a tracker with a past he’s trying to escape the first epic book of the Minnesota Kingston series by USA Today bestselling author Susan May Warren.

Ten years should be long enough for Jack to forget the girl-next-door, his kid sister’s bestie and the woman—no, girl—who derailed his life. Now, he sort of likes his loner world as a missing person’s tracker. Well, mostly. But of course, when he returns home for his sister’s wedding, there she is…

Nope, not forgotten at all.

Of course Jack the Grump has shown up for his sister’s wedding, and by the way he looks at Harper, um, clearly her sins aren’t forgiven. So what—she’s sooo over her best-friend’s brooding, dark oldest brother. Really.

Then a bridesmaid goes missing.

And sure, Harper is a journalist who knows how to sniff out truth, but the clock is ticking and there’s only one person who can help…Perfect. No problem. She’s not going to fall for her childhood crush again. Promise.

Yes, Jack can admit that Harper’s not the girl he used to call Pigtails anymore. She’s all grown up…but he’s not going to get burned again. Still, what’s a guy going to do?

So, find her missing friend, get the bride down the aisle and ditch town before they find themselves in over their heads…or worse.

Dead.

Jack is a best friend’s brother, childhood crush, grumpy-to sunshine, sweet but sizzly romantic suspense about second chances and finding the family you always wanted… 

About the Book

I enjoy reading books by Susan May Warren and this was no exception. I felt like I was missing pieces of the puzzle at the beginning of the story. I wasn't sure if it was hints about the characters' struggles that would be revealed as the book unfolded, or if it was because it was referencing things that happened in previous books. Even though there are separate series, most of Susan May Warren's books have characters that cross over/appear in other books from different series. I discovered that my confusion was a combination of both of these things. I was drawn into the story and trying to figure out what was going on and what was going to happen next. It was well written and I enjoyed seeing the characters find themselves. I look forward to reading more books in this series (as well as going back and reading books I've missed).
