As the fourth-generation editor of the Oak Hill Gazette, Abby Warner is determined to carry on the paper's proud tradition despite increasing financial problems. But big-city publishing heir Mark Campbell wants to take the paper away from her-as fast as possible. In a situation rife with tension, sparks fly. Yet when Mark finds a new purpose for his life in the podunk town he derided, and Abby begins to realize there's more to the playboy heir than she first thought, sparks of a different kind start to fly. As major changes loom, can these two people from different backgrounds open their hearts to each other and find the courage to embrace the unexpected opportunities that have graced their lives? In this small-town-America story, bestselling author Irene Hannon pens an inspiring tale about embracing change and finding silver linings.

She's been wronged. And she's hurting. Can he help her wipe the slate clean and escape her past? From his first meeting with organic farmer Christine Turner on a rain-slicked highway, Police Chief Dale Lewis is intrigued. But Oak Hill's newest resident wants nothing to do with men in general-and lawmen in particular. Which is fine by him. Troubled women are trouble. Yet when Dale discovers she's been wronged, his passion for justice compels him to help. As their paths begin to cross, Dale's five-year-old daughter falls hard for Christine. And he's not far behind. Still, romance is a risk for a woman who's been hurt and a man who's been burned. But in America's heartland, might they find the courage to take a second chance on love? In this RITA Award finalist book, bestselling author Irene Hannon once again captivates readers with a small-town-America story that celebrates the power of love to transform lives.
