Abby

Growing up, my mother wouldn’t talk about her past. I never knew my father’s name or where we came from. My mother was all I had until she passed away and left me alone, save for her moody cat, Whiskers. Then I receive a call from a lawyer I’d never heard of, and what he has to say shakes the foundation of everything I thought I knew. As it turns out, my mother not only had a family, but she was an heiress. With her and the rest of the family gone, the estate has now passed to me, including the grand hotel my grandfather built in the small town of Valor Springs. Now I’m on a mission to discover my lost roots and maybe find out who I really am. The last thing I expected was to find love along the way. But when James suddenly appears in my life, I can’t help but wonder if I’ll find more than my past in Valor Springs. Perhaps this little town also holds my future.

James

Still broken and aimless months after the injuries that ended my military career, I reluctantly return to my hometown of Valor Springs. After joining the Marines at eighteen, I thought I’d said goodbye to my life in this tiny town for good. But as I drive back home with no plan for the future, I can’t help but wonder what fate has in store for me now. I get my answer sooner than I expect when I meet a blonde beauty with striking amber eyes on the side of the road, looking just as lost as I feel. From the moment I approach her, I can’t help the feeling that I’m coming home in more ways than one. I’ve only ever dreamed of being a soldier, but now, I can’t help but wonder if something greater is in store for me. All I have to do is convince Abby that Valor Springs can be her home too. I’ll do whatever it takes to make her stay…in my town and by my side because when I look at Abby, I see my future clearer than I ever have before.
