If not for her friend Nichole, Beth would never have met Sam Carney, although first impressions have left Beth with serious doubts. Sam is everything Beth is not--and her parents' worst nightmare: a tattooed auto mechanic who's rough around the edges. Reserved and smart as a whip, Beth isn't exactly Sam's usual beer-drinking, pool-playing type of woman, either. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But if not for an awkward setup one evening, Beth might never have left early and been involved in a car crash. And if not for Sam--who witnessed the terrifying ordeal, rushed to her aid, and stayed with her until help arrived--Beth might have been all alone, or worse. Yet as events play out, Sam feels compelled to check on Beth almost daily at the hospital--even bringing his guitar to play songs to lift her spirits. Soon their unlikely friendship evolves into an intense attraction that surprises them both. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Before long, Beth's strong-willed mother, Ellie, blows into town spouting harsh opinions, especially about Sam, and reopening old wounds with Sunshine. When shocking secrets from Sam's past are revealed, Beth struggles to reconcile her feelings. But when Beth goes a step too far, she risks losing the man and the life she's come to love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eIf Not for You\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\" An] uplifting and deliciously romantic tale with vibrant characters and a wide range of emotions.\"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e--RT Book Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A heartwarming story of forgiveness and unexpected love.\"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e--Harlequin Junkie\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A fun, sweet read.\"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e--Publishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDebbie Macomber\u003c\/b\u003e, the author of \u003ci\u003eIt's Better This Way, A Walk Along the Beach, Window on the Bay, Cottage by the Sea, Any Dream Will Do, If Not for You, \u003c\/i\u003e and the Rose Harbor Inn series, is a leading voice in women's fiction.
