Love At Peace - Hometown Heartstrings Series, #3

Heather

I'm stupid to stay. With my ex hanging around, getting too close for comfort, the only thing that makes sense is to go. To run.

Fighting back seems impossible. Putting roots down and really letting love in feels too risky.

A job is waiting for me somewhere far away, somewhere safe. I could take off and have a redo. Maybe this time, I might get over the trauma of my past.

But running from this small town—again—would mean giving up on the one man who seems prepared to fight for me.

He'll fight with me, too, but how can I truly know if I'm strong enough to lean on love and survive this threat from my past?

I jinxed myself when I said I didn't want drama. Between my ex-wife and my troublemaker of a niece, I'm loaded with women causing hell in my life.

When it comes to the gorgeous woman in the cabin next to mine, though, I try not to give up on her pushing me away.

No one will tell what's going on. She won't open up and explain herself.

It takes someone getting hurt to prompt her to sharing about what she wants to escape.

But now, her threat is endangering someone in my life, someone I can't abandon.

I never thought I would have to have my heart torn into two.

As much as I want to fight for a future with the woman I want to make my forever, I must decide if I can choose love over the duty to family.
