Sunshine and Rain

M. Mabie

City Limits #2

contemporary romance(560)

The girl who never saw him as more than a lovesick kid is about to meet the man he became.

Description

Some things never changed: when it rained too much it was bound to flood, work on our farm was never done, and no woman alive compared to Sunny Wilbanks. She wasn't just the town sweetheart with hair like the sun and a golden voice that drove me crazy. She was also the older woman who'd never seen me as anything more than a scrawny, lovesick kid. Then again, some things were never meant to stay the same. Because after college, I wasn't how she remembered, and the older I got the more I enjoyed women chasing me. Turned out it was easy to forget about the rain when I was tangled up with pure sunshine, and there was no place I would have rather been. I just had to convince her Iโ€™d known what I was doing all along.Sunshine and Rain is the second standalone novel in the City Limits series. It follows new characters as they navigate their May-December-ish, second chance romance. Welcome to Wynne.
