About The Book:
Thea Landry has always known her place in modern-day society. It’s somewhere just above the trash can her mother dumped her in as a newborn but below the class where much comes easy. With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour.
So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn’t fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more than a one-night stand. Months later, she’s kicking herself for not getting his phone number. Or his last name. She’s given up hope of seeing him ever again.
Until one day, years later, Logan Kendrick waltzes into her life once more and turns everything she’s built upside down. This time around, she won’t make the same mistake. She’s going to fight to keep him in her life—not for herself.
But for their daughter.

Excerpt:
He stared at me for a long moment. “You’re sure she’s mine?”
“She’s yours.”
“Then that’s good enough.”
“I—really?” I blinked. He didn’t want to verify paternity? He just . . . trusted me?
He nodded. “Really.”
“I swear, I tried to find you, Logan. On my life, I swear it. But the hotel wouldn’t give me your name no matter how much I begged. And you paid cash for your drinks and never mentioned your last name. I tried, but I just . . . didn’t know where to start.”
“It’s not your fault. I believe you.”
The sincerity in his voice made my throat burn. Goddamn it. I was going to cry.
I’d worked so hard not to cry today. I’d fought to keep my emotions in check and my head from spinning out of control. But this was going to make me break.
I wanted so badly for Logan to believe that I hadn’t kept Charlie from him intentionally. The fact that a man like him would trust someone like me without proof meant more than he’d ever know.
“Thank you,” I choked out past the lump in my throat.
“So, um, is Charlie inside with your husband? Or boyfriend?”
The urge to cry disappeared and I barked out a laugh. “Smooth.”
He chuckled. “It’s been a long day for me. Give me a break, will you? This morning I was in New York, then I came to Montana for a business meeting and discovered a daughter. I’m off my game.”
My Review:
Tattered by Devney PerryMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Tattered by Devney Perry is the first book in her brand new Lark Cove series. Slightly connected to the Jamison Valley series, this book is an absolute emotional hard-hitter. Told in dual POV complete with a hard-won happy ending this was yet another phenomenal story from start to finish by one of my new favorite authors.
Logan is someone we met previously in the Jamison Valley series. He was not a main character but his brief time there showed he wasn’t a jerk so bonus. This time around he is investing in a kids camp in Montana. What he doesn’t expect to find in what he deems the middle of nowhere is his often thought about one night stand from six years ago and a daughter he never knew he had.
Thea did not expect much from her one night with Logan. It was amazing. It was mind blowing. But they didn’t exchange numbers or last names. It was just ghat one night. Until she discovered she was pregnant. With no way to find him and no way to keep bar tending at the same place they met, she followed the only “family” she had to Montana and don’t look back. Until Logan appeared one day, out of the blue.
Secret baby. Lost love. Kismet. Fate. This story was powerful. Intriguing. It draws you in from the first page and does NOT let go until the end. And then the tease for the next book will have you on tenterhooks waiting for that to release. If you haven’t already, read everything by this author. She is amazing. Enjoy!
