He was the bad boy I fell for in college. Now he’s a sexy single dad and Charleston’s most successful venture capitalist. Dominant and decisive, Ford Montgomery is used to getting what he wants. And he just set his sights on me...
Southern Heartbreaker, an all-new standalone contemporary romance in the Charleston Heat series by Jessica Peterson, is LIVE!
Ford Montgomery was my first everything.
First love.
First guy I slept with.
First heartbreak when he dumped me without explanation.
A decade later, it’s just my luck he’s the first guy I run into after moving back to my hometown of Charleston. Three piece suit, tie, and a watch worth more than my car--being a mogul looks good on Ford. So does being a doting dad to his adorable four-year-old daughter.
I tell myself I can resist him. But one impulsive, ill-advised kiss later, and Ford is in hot pursuit. He’s determined to make up for his past mistakes, and convinces me to give him a second chance.
What started out as fun between the sheets gets really serious, really fast. Problem is, I swore I’d never give up the dreams I worked so hard for to settle down and do the family thing.
But seeing Ford light up around his daughter--seeing how he’s chasing his ambitions while rocking fatherhood--is making me rethink what I want out of life.
It doesn’t help that behind his corporate veneer is the bad boy I fell in love with. And bad boys aren’t afraid to play dirty...or break hearts.
Southern Heartbreaker is part of the Charleston Heat Series, which is a series of interconnected standalone novels set in the steamy southern town of Charleston, South Carolina.

MY REVIEW
Eva's come home. She needs some inspiration to get her second cookbook written and in her editor's hands. What better place for some inspiration than in her mom's kitchen, soaking up all the delicious Mexican recipes, and in her father's barbecue joint? She didn't count on her ex, Ford, being around, or that he'd be so different than the man who broke her heart the day she graduated from college, by telling her she didn't fit into his life plan because she didn't have enough ambition?!
She also didn't count on her traitorous body having the same reaction to him that it had back in college. But what she really didn't count on is the fact that he's now a dad, "A very hot, and apparently very single, dad." Yep...
Will Eva give them a second chance even though she has never wanted children? Will she give up her own dreams and instead take on co-parenting with Ford?
I will be the first to say that I absolutely loved swoony Ford, and his daughter, Bryce. I had a harder time with Ms. Perfectionist Eva, especially when she made a decision while under the influence of the flu epidemic that was sweeping the area, and she took too long before she woman'd up and apologized. She was such a perfectionist and determined not to end up in the same position as her mother that she took it too far and really hurt Ford and Bryce. I'm not so sure I'd have taken her stupid ass back actually...but Ford's a better person than I, and was seriously in love so he did the right thing. Aside from Eva, though, I loved Southern Heartbreaker - it's swoon worthy and sweet, and the chemistry between the two is even hotter in the present during their second time around.
