Past Convictions

  Officer Taryn Boyd is determined to guide troubled youth, but when Craig Taylor—her most challenging charge yet—lands at a group home she cannot avoid, she must confront more than just her professional duties. Jesse Spencer, the home’s head, challenges everything she believes about rehabilitation.

As Taryn navigates the tension between duty, justice, and personal conviction, she also faces an unexpected attraction she cannot ignore. In a story of love, trust, and second chances, Taryn must decide how much she is willing to risk for both her heart and the future of the youth in her care.

Originally published as a Harlequin Superromance in 1988, Past Convictions has been updated for 2025 to reflect today’s realities while preserving the emotional depth and compelling storytelling that captured readers worldwide.
