Still Creek / Hard to Love (The Cove #2) by Leaona Luxx

Hardy and Thayer's love last through most everything. Neither of them expected to find each other or to feel the way they do. But Hardy's past comes back to haunt him and he can't find his way out. Being One's best friend isn't enough for Hardy either. He tries to do what he thinks is best for all of them and he is so wrong. But Hardy doesn't understand how strong of a family bond this family has, no matter what happened in your past that is where it stays. Who you are now is all that matters. Thayer has to find a way to make Hardy see this.
