About this listen
Sometimes the one thing you are looking for is the one thing you can’t see. A tragedy, a death, and a new look on life, can Madison find a way to move forward when everything is abruptly disrupted?
Madison is learning to deal with the death of her abusive mother, while witnessing the horrifying accident of her adopted mother. Her small town continues to pull her back to the place she is trying so hard to forget. Raising Liberty, finishing college, and working on her writing career consumes her time, and it’s becoming more than one person can do on their own.
Hamilton’s career flourishes as he gets the opportunity to pitch in the World Series for the Chicago Cubs. He can’t shake the feeling that something is still missing, and when he learns Madison needs him most, it’s time for him to return.
Something lovely often comes from weeks of despair. She’s not ready, but it’s time to reveal to Hamilton and his family the “secret.” Tailgates and First Dates is the third book in the Locals Series. This steamy small-town, slow burn, second chance, new adult, sports romance novel will keep you guessing with captivating characters and real-to-life events.

Story
You know, being friends with two cute boys does have its benefits. There's Danny. Danny is a golden boy in every way. He has dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair that always looks perfect, even when it's windblown or been stuck under a football helmet. He's the boy every girl crushes on. The boy I get into trouble with, the boy I fight with, the hot quarterback no girl can resist, not even me. Being with Danny is like being on an adventure. He has a bright, contagious smile and abs to die for. He's pretty much irresistible.

Story
I’ve been in love with Bridger Blackwell for as long as I can remember. He’s a smoke show, kind, and gives the best hugs in the world. But best of all? He’s everything my sorry excuse for a father wasn’t. Now, I’m back in Bitterroot Valley, living across the street from Bridger and his adorable daughter. It doesn’t take long for all those old feelings to come rushing back, and every cell in my body knows that I belong with them. That they’re mine. Bridger’s arms are where I feel safest. They feel like home. I’m growing to depend on him, to truly love him and his daughter.
