Can an unexpected homecoming…
Lead to happily-ever-after?
Moving to her hometown gives Brynn Hart a chance to build a stable life for herself and her two young children. The only hitch?

About the author
Carol Ross lives with her husband and two dogs (a perfect border collie and a perfectly loveable miscreant of a dachshund) in a small town in Washington near both the ocean and the mountains. She loves the Northwest because, when the temperamental weather cooperates, she enjoys hiking, running, skiing, and spending time outdoors. And when it doesn’t…she dons a raincoat, or gets lost in a book. She enjoys reading in many genres but writes about what she loves the most-romance.
