Return to You

Samantha Chase. Sourcebooks Casablanca, $7.99 mass market (352p) ISBN 978-1-4926-1577-4

Chase’s devastating fourth Montgo­mery Brothers contemporary (after Stay with Me) reunites long-separated lovers. James Montgomery never wanted to use his rich family’s name to skate by, so he struck out on his own. Soon he met and fell in love with Selena Ainsley, a schoolmate of his cousin. All was well until tragedy ripped James and Selena apart. Ten years later, both are single and miserable. Family matchmaker William Montgomery, James’s uncle, decides to get the pair back together—whether they like it or not. But can the catastrophic damage ever be fully repaired? Chase writes achingly of how deeply betrayal—or seeming betrayal—can cut, and whether it’s possible to ever return to what might have been. Her well-drawn characters will make readers cheer for a happy ending, no matter how impossible that might seem at first. Agent: Mark Gottlieb, Trident Media Group. (Mar.)
