Nate Hill is a rising star in Hollywood and everyone wants a piece of him. He's enjoyed all the attention...until now. Feeling lost and alone, he sneaks away from his slave-driver-of-an-agent and flies home to Beaver Hill, Texas for a much needed break. Upon his arrival, he's delivered news that sends him reeling, and he feels more lost and alone than ever. Emily Conrad and her two young children are experiencing their own emotional turmoil. Emily's husband has run off and left them alone without a word or reason why, leaving Emily to pick up the pieces and pay the mortgage on the ranch and home that she thought they'd been happy in. With no place to stay, Nate settles in at the Conrad ranch in exchange for ranch work. He soon discovers that maybe Emily and her cute kids have more to offer him than just room and board. Nate and Emily are both faced with questions that they don't know how to answer. Will Emily's husband come home? Should Nate return to Hollywood, even though he's feeling like he's finally found a place to call home? Will Jake, the other man in Emily's life, let her go? Sometimes we all need to go home, to go back to the place where we started, so that we can find ourselves again. Copyright 2019 Krista Barrett

He leaned in again and kissed the tip of my nose before giving me a quick kiss on the lips. And just when I thought we'd maybe have a chance at something, he went and opened his big, fat mouth again. "Are you overthinking things like you did at the restaurant?" He pushed a few strands of hair behind my ear as my eyes widened at his question. I felt my anger pulsing beneath my skin. Seriously? Did he just ask me that? I did what any rational, self-respecting, seventeen-year-old girl would do after being insulted like that. I kneed him in the sweet spot. ### Craig Morgan is captain of the football team and resident school hottie. He's also the twin brother to Rachel Morgan, Lara's best friend and neighbour.

Gabriel Moya is an expert at being bland. No one pays him any mind--or recognizes he exists at all for that matter. Until he burns one of his classmates with his bare hands. Suddenly, he's getting much more attention than he's ever wanted. Not from the other students though; from those he never knew could even exist. A strange woman shows up at his house under the guise of transferring him to a different foster home, but that's far from the truth. Instead, he's transported halfway across the country in the blink of an eye and is introduced to a whole new world: a tribe of magical beings living at the center of a massive forest. They call themselves Mages, are the secret protectors of the world, and are offering Gabriel a chance to train to master a power lying dormant within him and join their ranks. His life will never be bland again.
