By Crystal Walton

Description:

When an unexpected call reignites the past, a mysterious estate plan sends two wandering hearts down a second chance it’ll take every ounce of faith to face.

Returning to the small town Ellie Barrett lost her heart to has her stomach in knots. What was Aunt Bev thinking, naming her as the executor of her estate? At the very least, she could’ve left Ellie instructions on how to stop the bank from seizing her home. But when a crazy chase for answers gets tangled up in memories shared with the boy she’s still in love with, there’s no way to dig herself out of the mess Aunt Bev left her without confronting the one she’s still trying to outrun.

When Cole Patterson gets roped into a project working alongside the one girl who can make him question everything, the threat of loss traps him between a promise pulling him away and the roots begging him to stay. It takes all he has to honor his grandpa. But if fighting to keep Ms. Bev’s house doesn’t break his resolve first, fighting for the woman he still wants to share it with could leave nothing left.

When every failed effort backs them against the clock, and attacks in town threaten to derail their plans, Cole and Ellie must count the cost of fighting to protect a woman's legacy while facing the risk of losing their own.
