Jack’s Legacy (Baytown Legacies #1)

He came home to rebuild his life.

He never expected to fight for the woman he’d never stopped loving.

After nearly a decade serving as a Navy officer, Jack Hudson returns to Virginia’s Eastern Shore determined to put down roots at last.

His new career as a sheriff’s detective and assistant baseball coach feels like exactly where he’s meant to be.

Now he just has to convince Rachel Ayers that he’s finally home for good.

Rachel has built the life she always dreamed of—teaching at Baytown High School, surrounded by the town that became her refuge years ago.

She never stopped loving Jack, but loving him once meant watching him leave. She’s not willing to risk her heart unless he proves this time will be different.

When whispers of illegal performance-enhancing drugs begin circulating among student athletes, Rachel’s concern for her students collides with Jack’s first major investigation.

As the two work together to uncover a dangerous scheme targeting teenagers desperate to succeed, old feelings return with undeniable force.

But exposing the truth puts Rachel directly in the path of a desperate man with everything to lose.

Jack left Baytown once to chase his future.

This time, he’ll risk everything to protect the woman who has always been his home.
