When You Got A Good Thing
The Misfit Inn - AUDIOBOOK 1
She ran to protect him. Now she's back to face what they both lost.
Kennedy Reynolds has spent the last decade on the move, chasing freedom and hiding from a past she couldn’t outrun. But when the woman who took her in—and made her part of a makeshift family—dies unexpectedly, Kennedy is called home to Eden’s Ridge. There, she’s reunited with her estranged sisters… and the man whose heart she shattered.
Xander Kincaid never understood why Kennedy disappeared after graduation without a word. She was his best friend, his first love, his future—until she vanished. Now she’s back, older, guarded, and still beautiful as hell. He tells himself he’s moved on. But the moment he sees her, old feelings come rushing back.
With grief stirring up old memories, and a foster child’s future hanging in the balance, Kennedy must decide: can she finally stop running and make peace with her past? Or is the future she once wanted already too far gone?
Heartfelt, deeply emotional, and brimming with southern charm, When You Got A Good Thing is a poignant tale of family, forgiveness, and finding your way home—even when the path is tangled with regret and love that never faded.
