By Jenna Victoria

Description:

Bookkeeper Mollie Wright knows about living on the streets, and her purchase of sweet Lilac Cottage is a dream come true. She is determined to stay and fight when a legal error puts her ownership at risk. Attorney Sean Grady never wanted his great-aunts to sell their cottage in Westchester County, New York, so when a paperwork snafu puts the deal on hold, he moves swiftly to evict the pretty, feisty squatter.

Will a theft and her past secrets force a showdown to heartache, or will Mollie and Sean discover home is where your heart is?

Book Takeaway:

Our past is in the past, and need not dictate our future.

Why the author wrote this book:

A friend and her teen son recently faced homelessness, and she was so relieved when she finally found a place to stay. I tried to direct her to resources but there were few in place. I thought, what if a woman who'd been homeless finally found a cottage to actually own, but it was taken away?
