Falcon’s Notch, Tennessee & New York City – Present Day

Wynn Oliver’s only sister has died and left her baby daughter in his care and custody. As he mourns her untimely death from cancer at the memorial service, he notices a blast from his past from his years in Falcon’s Notch. Wynn and Felicity Vance were teenage sweethearts, but after she miscarried their baby, they separated and both left Tennessee. The years have been good for them. Wynn is now a billionaire business owner who even has a private jet. Felicity has achieved her dream of being a flight attendant for a major airline. However, now that he has little Ayla in his life, he needs a live-in nanny, so he decides to ask Felicity.

Felicity thought Wynn wouldn’t notice her at his sister’s funeral. Despite the unpleasantness of their breakup, she still cared for his little sister. But Wynn does spot her and asks her to go with him to the home he has built in Falcon’s Notch because he wants to talk to her. There, he proposes a plan for her to live with him and Ayla for nine months to allow the baby time to settle in. He could have hired a stranger, but he wants Felicity. To even her own surprise, she agrees. Once in New York City where Wynn has an apartment, the attraction that each thought was over arises once again. Will they end up making love and will it lead to heartbreak again?

Reunited former lovers brought together to care for an orphaned baby girl is the basis for THE COMEBACK HEIR by Janice Maynard. Falcon’s Notch is a small town deep in the heart of the Smoky Mountains where Wynn and Felicity grew up poor. They fell in love as teens, but an unplanned pregnancy derailed their romance. Both escaped Falcon’s Notch as soon as they could. In fact, it wasn’t until the funeral for Wynn’s sister that she came back. Seeing him has her remembering the love they shared—and lost. While living in close quarters isn’t something she wants to do, she feels compassion for Ayla. Wynn and Felicity lay out the ground rules for the nine months she will be there, but will it stop them from giving in to the desire they once had for each other?

Things start smoothly for Wynn and Felicity at first in THE COMEBACK HEIR. But soon they can’t deny their attraction and they make love. She grapples with her feelings for him, knowing that their lives are far apart now. But can they meet each other halfway? In this tale, other things come up that tear at the Felicity’s emotions and it’s Wynn who steps in to help. Will it draw them closer? Can they find love together again? An emotional read from the first chapter all the way to the end, don’t miss THE COMEBACK HEIR.
