About this audiobook
NARRATED BY LAUREN SWEET and JAMES CAVENAUGH
Stay busy. Stay focused. Sam’s plan to keep the past behind her was simple. But summertime, it would seem, has something else in store.
Desperate to escape the harrowing night that irrevocably altered her life, Samantha buries herself in ranch work to keep her father’s business afloat. But when Sam’s past comes rumbling back to town in a lifted, cherry-red pickup truck, it’s all she can do to keep her wits about her. A heatwave, a pair of familiar blue eyes, and a camping trip with friends will leave Sam reeling as she grapples with guilt and her yearning for a happiness she’s not sure she deserves.
Everyone knows Reilly, the all-American boy-next-door, had a broken home. He couldn’t wait to leave for the army after high school, but that was before he fell in love with Sam and captured her heart, only to break it when he deployed. When Reilly comes home to close the darkest chapter of his life, he learns it’s what has happened to Sam in his absence that will haunt him the most.
Sam, Reilly, and their quirky friends will venture down a winding path of self-discovery and second chances in Whatever It Takes, a small-town romance, bursting with raw emotion, unwavering friendships, and plenty of heart.

Lindsey Pogue
Lindsey Pogue has always been a little creative. As a child she established a bug hospital on her elementary school soccer field, compiled books of collages as a teenager, and as an adult, expresses herself through writing. Her novels are inspired by her observations of the world around her--whether she's traveling, people watching, or hiking. When not plotting her next story line or dreaming up new, brooding characters, Lindsey's wrapped in blankets watching her favorite action flicks or going on road trips with her own leading man.
