Thanks to Harlequin Special Edition for including me on this blog tour for Her Homecoming Wish by Jo McNally! đ€

SYNOPSIS
Sheâs ready to shed her good-girl waysâŠ
âYouâre all about following the rules now?
âPity.â
Mackenzie Wallace hopes thereâs still some bad boy lurking beneath single father Danny Adamsâs upright exterior. Being the proverbial good girl left her brokenhearted and alone in the past. Now sheâs back in town and wants excitement with her high school crushânot love. Dan knows their connection runs deep, despite Mackenzieâs protests. But will their new personas work togetherâespecially when Danâs secret is exposed?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jo McNally lives in upstate New York with 100 pounds of dog and 200 pounds of husband â her slice of the bed is very small. When she’s not writing or reading romance novels (or clinging to the edge of the bed…), she can often be found on the back porch sipping wine with friends, listening to an eclectic playlist. If the weather is perfect, she might join her husband on the golf course, where she always feels far more competitive than her actual skill-level would suggest.

Q&A WITH Jo
DID YOU ALWAYS WANT TO WRITE FOR HARLEQUIN?
Well, Iâve wanted to write romance novels since I was about ten years old (my first âbookâ had a heroine named Destiny and horses and a tornadoâŠ). But I didnât actually become aware of Harlequin until I was an adult. Many readers talk about sneak-reading their momâs Harlequin novels as teens, but my mom didnât read romance! But once I found Harlequin books, I knew that was where I wanted to be.
SHARE YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY OF READING A HARLEQUIN ROMANCE.
I got distracted by life for a while (it happens, right?) and stopped reading much. I rediscovered romance novels when I got my first eReader, and one of the first books I read was Beach House No. 9 by Christie Ridgway. That story made me laugh and cry and sit on the edge of my seat, and I was hooked on romance all over again. I started devouring series by Susan Mallery and Kristan Higgins, and then I started writing in earnest. And it all started with a Harlequin romance!
WHAT IS A RECENT BOOK YOU HAVE READ THAT YOU WOULD RECOMMEND?
I just finished a reread of Lucy Parkerâs The Austen Playbook from last year, and I adored it just as much the second time around. Lucyâs books are always full of sparkling wit, and this is one of the best opposites-attract romances (my favorite trope) Iâve ever read. I canât wait to read her brand-new book, Headliners.
EXCERPT
Dan returned, thankfully ending the conversation. He handed her a glass, but it wasnât beer.
âI thought you might want some water to hydrate yourself from all yourâŠuhâŠactivity.â
âIn other words, you agree Iâve had enough beer tonight? Youâre rightâthis is not a typical Friday night for me.â Remembering she was here to start a more fun-loving life, she lifted her chin. âAt least it wasnât before tonight.â
Owen leaned forward to make himself heard over the music. âHey, Dan, you bike, right? A bunch of us are going to do the loop around the lake Sunday. Wanna join us?â
Mackâs eyes went wide. âDan, you still have your motorcycle? I used to love the way that thing rumbledâŠâ
Kiaraâs eyebrows rose, and Mack realized she sounded gushy. But she hadnât thought of Dan pulling up behind the liquor store on that dark red Harley of his in a long time. Heâd been every teenage girlâs bad-boy dreamâhandsome, reckless and restless. She used to run to the back window when she heard him coming, just to watch him pull that helmet off and run his fingers through his hair, wearing those tight jeans.
Was it hot in here, or was it her memories that were heating her up right now? She gulped down the cold water, nearly emptying the glass in one pull. Dan was saying something. Oh, damn. Dan was talking and she wasnât even listeningâŠ
ââŠthink Owenâs referring to bicycles, not motorcycles.â He nodded toward Owen. âIâve got Chloe this weekend, so Iâll have to pass.â His mouth slanted into a half grin as he turned back to Mack. âBut yes, I still have the old Harley. Itâs been in mothballs for a few years, but I canât seem to part with that last vestige of my misspent youth.â
That bad boy might still be in thereâŠ
âYou know, Iâve never been on a motorcycle. You should give me a ride sometimeâŠâ
Dan coughed and the others laughed. That wasnât the kind of ride sheâd meant, of course. Or was it? Rather than apologize, she just met his gaze and shrugged.
There was a spark of something in his eyes. Interest? He closed them and shook his head, as if chasing away whatever thoughts sheâd put there.
