August Read: Returning To Ravens Ridge by DJ Lavely

He was the town punk. She was his best friend’s little sister. Together they were magnetic—until she discovered it was all a lie.

Ravens Ridge used to be Ashton’s favorite place in the world, and she’s spent the last six years swearing she’ll never go back. But now’s she’s inherited her grandmother’s house and has no choice but to return home one last time and face the nightmares she’s been running from since she left…including Gabriel Abbott.

As the president of the Ravens Ridge Riders, Gabe answers to no one—except the ghost of what could have been. Now, Ash is back, and he can’t seem to stop himself from bulldozing into her life to play a role that’s no longer his.

Ash is the sun, and he’s never been able to escape her orbit. In a town where secrets never stay hidden, Ash and Gabe must decide whether the past will define them, or if this time they’ll choose each other.

About the Author

“DJ is a midwestern mom and wife who loves books so much she sat down and wrote one. Born with a wild imagination, that lives on through the words and worlds she’s created. In her spare time she likes to read, roller-skate, and yap, and can be seen telling anyone who’ll listen about her current read. She’s messy and chaotic, but life’s too short to be bored.

She grew up loving shows like One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, and Greek. So, to say she loves drama would be an understatement. She loves a book with juicy drama, heart stopping romance, and edge of your seat yearning. That’s what she aims to do with her books.
