Synopsis

Is it possible for two wounded hearts to heal each other? Widowed Josie returns to her childhood small town in Washington to help her mother save the family business after her father dies. She has to put her sorrow aside and give her young daughter the best life possible. That means there’s no time for dating—not that she has any interest in romance. When Jacob’s wife and unborn daughter are taken from him suddenly, he moves to where they planned to build a home and raise a family. It didn’t take long for the ladies to notice the new widower, but dating is the furthest thing from Jacob’s mind. A former soldier and medic, he volunteers where he’s needed. Duty brings him to Josie’s side after her wilderness fall. Jacob didn’t plan to rescue a damsel in distress. Neither wants to fall in love. Combine one small town with two hearts that need healing, mix in a dollop of spice and you have the perfect setup for this second chance romance. Begin reading today. This book was previously published as "Fate Takes a Hike", print ISBN 978-1-7375188-1-5
