Paige Mathews' decision to move back to the one place she swore she would never return, her home town Prospect, is an easy one. Paige's sister has finally reached out for help, so Paige plans on spending the summer helping her in the town that brings back painful memories of love and betrayal. Paige promised years ago that she would stay away but, given Paige's sister request for assistance and a heart wrenching email, Paige is willing to face down the town gossip mongers and public ridicule because her family needs her. The only true complication is how Paige's first love, Logan Powell, will react to Paige returning to town after ten years with the son he devastatingly dismissed all those years ago.

Sheriff Logan Powell is finally happy after a bitter divorce and a move back to Prospect to be with his friends and family. Logan can't avoid finding out that Paige Mathews is back thanks to all the gossips approaching him as he walks through town. Though he anticipates that he will run into the woman who broke his heart years ago, still Logan is stunned speechless when he sees her. The painful memories come rushing back along with the anger he felt 10 years ago, but the real surprise is the boy sitting with her in the café. Logan feels he is looking at a miniature version of himself and is taken aback and even angrier than before.

DESERVING OF LUKE is a powerful and well written story of love and betrayal with pages full of enduring characters the reader will love. Definitely a must read!
