The Convict Gets His Girl

She left town with a secret. He went to prison with a broken heart. Now, fate is bringing them back together.

Jewel Jenkins swore she’d never return to Crimson Creek—not after the way things ended, or the mistake she made with Chase Williams, her then-boyfriend’s little brother. But when a lingering illness forces her home, she has no choice but to face everything she’s spent fifteen years running from—including the truth about her daughter’s father.

Fresh out of prison, Chase is working the family ranch and trying to rebuild his life. But Jewel’s return—with a teenage daughter and a long-buried secret—shakes his world all over again.

When a DNA test reveals a painful truth, and old emotions rise to the surface, Chase and Jewel must decide if forgiveness is possible… and whether love deserves a second chance.

A slow-burn, small-town second-chance romance full of secrets, scandal, and soul-deep connection.

Author Biography

Jane Poller read her way through middle school, and she swore someday she’d be an author. Romance books got her through countless life changes… moves, degrees, having kids, deployments, teaching high school, international living, health coaching, running a wellness business, homeschooling, and more.

She finally gave in to the characters in her head demanding their stories be told. The Crimson Creek series is a contemporary steamy small fictional town in Texas that’s full of hot heroes and sassy women. Speaking of, she lives in Texas with her middle school sweetheart. He’s her real-life hero, Army veteran, and the inspiration for her stories. When she’s not doing all the things, she’s reading and writing. Or arguing with her characters, who refuse to do what she wants. But that’s par for the course, since she’s currently homeschooling two teenagers and two dogs. Those reviews really brighten her day and are much appreciated.
