One part happiness. Two parts love.
Relocating to the coast of Florida after becoming guardian of her best friend’s twin daughters could be the best move LA celebrity chef Jenna Monroe ever made. This is her chance to create a stable, loving home—something she never had. But can she be the mother the girls need?
Wyatt Hamilton thinks she can. The rugged charter boat captain, who came home to Cypress Pointe still grieving the death of his son, has faith in her. But the feelings he awakens in Jenna both exhilarate and frighten her. Because Wyatt no longer believes in forever... Unless she can convince him otherwise.
“Jenna, some advice?”
She faced him. “Yes, please.”
“Keep loving the girls, just the way you are. They’ll always remember your love.”
Her throat went dry as tears misted in her eyes. “I can do that.”
Wyatt reached out to run a finger over her cheek, catching a teardrop. His gaze held hers, dark in the dim light.
“Then you’re miles ahead.”
The foyer suddenly seemed cramped. The air heated. They stood toe to toe, so close she could feel his warm breath on her skin. His firm fingers circled her arms, drew her closer. He lowered his head, but neither of them made the next move.
Unable to stand the suspense any longer, she stood on tiptoe to brush her lips over his.
Losing a loved one is always heart wrenching. Losing a child, a much deeper pain.
Wyatt Hamilton thought he lost it all after his son died and his wife left him. Getting through each hopeless day became a major task...until Jenna Monroe comes into his life.
Jenna understands the pain of losing someone close, but also knows hope gives us the strength to carry on with life. Wyatt is drawn to that inner strength, to the promise of hope, and so begins a new chapter for both Jenna and Wyatt.
Of course, the road to love is never easy, but watching two people take a chance on love is exactly why we read romance novels. Overcoming obstacles and shake-ups in our lives is so much better with someone by our side, sharing the load and making the path easier to bear. Hope and love go hand in hand, and I believe that’s why we enjoy romance stories.
Once again, I invite you back to Cypress Pointe. There’s never a dull moment in this town. Spend a few hours meeting new characters, catching up with old friends and finding new surprises. Thankfully the journey to love is never dull. Enjoy the ride!
