ABOUT THE BOOK


Going home could mean risking her heart…

She needs help to start over…

Yet after a fainting spell lands her in the hospital, Sheriff Logan Carter whisks her away to his foster mother’s mountain home to recover. But when her secrets follow, can she face her painful past with Logan at her side?

EXCERPT

Logan laughed and looked relieved. “Ruby can get pretty heavy-handed with her matchmaking. I just didn’t want you to feel uncomfortable.”

She patted his arm. “You’re talking to a very pregnant lady. Uncomfortable is my middle name. Don’t worry. Ruby won’t bother me. I know you’ve never looked at me that way.” When Logan didn’t answer, Charlotte clarified, “Romantically, I mean.”

Logan started walking again. “Watch your step,” he cautioned. “The light’s going, and you don’t want to trip.”

It wasn’t much dimmer now than it had been a few minutes ago. Charlotte studied Logan’s face. “You haven’t ever, have you? Looked at me that way?” When he stayed silent, she frowned. “I mean, we’ve always just been really good friends. Right?”

Logan sighed and stopped again. Leaning one elbow on the top of a weathered fence post, he looked away from her, toward the red-and-golden clouds celebrating the sunset.

“Mostly,” he said finally. “Mostly I’ve thought of you as a friend.”
