Eney, Meeny, Miny, Moe- the four friends were called this for as long as any of them could remember. Destiny, Wilhelmina, Carmine, and Joseph. Never too far apart, they did everything together. They played and learned together. And when they got old enough they discovered the opposite sex together. And learned that together as well. But they were always first and foremost, friends. And when they had discovered that they were better as just friends, they were all on the same page, never even thinking of going there again. And when one needed them, they were all there. And one of the friends needed them now. Upon discovering that her husband of three months has kept a huge secret from her, a secret that everyone in his family knew about, Wilhelmina has a decision to make. And with her lifelong friends by her side, she is bound to make the right one. Right?

It appears that they've made the best of a terrible situation, but when she and the baby can finally return home, everything feels wrong.

As Lina struggles to navigate the complexities of being a mother outside the NICU, she begins to suspect that while she was absent someone stepped into the space that was supposed to be hers alone. She tackles the mystery one step at a time while trying to focus on her baby's changing needs with the help of a calm and helpful mentor the hospital assigned to them. One by one, the things people tell her and her parrot's insistent voice fill her life with doubt, until the only voice that still feels real is hundreds of miles away.

He's the storm. She's the sunshine. Magnolia, Louisiana, will never be the same. Maverick Hayes came to Magnolia to stand up in his best friend's wedding, not to put down roots. A former Marine with scars too deep to count, he's spent his life running from the wreckage of his past. But when a gruff favor at a women's shelter pulls him into the orbit of Kayla Broussard, he finds himself caught between walls he's built and a light he can't resist. Kayla has always been the strong one-teacher, caretaker, and the quiet force behind The Magnolia House, a shelter she built in honor of a friend she couldn't save. She knows better than to fall for a man with storm clouds in his eyes. Yet every time Maverick shows up-for her students, for the shelter kids, for her-the pieces of her heart fall faster. When Maverick's past crashes back into Magnolia, threatening everything he's found, Kayla must decide if her sunshine can weather his storm. Together, they'll learn that home isn't where you're from-it's who you fight for.
