In the fall of 2004, eighteen-year-old Rosie Benson leaves her family in Florida to build a new life in the small town of Mount Joy, Kentucky. Determined to become a pediatric doctor, Rosie must learn to balance college, Type 1 diabetes, new responsibilities, and the challenge of creating a home far from everything familiar. Then she meets Karen Divine. Karen is a locomotive machinist with grease on her hands, dreams of operating the trains she repairs, and a guarded heart she rarely allows anyone to see. What begins as an unexpected friendship slowly grows through late-night conversations, shared meals, difficult truths, and the quiet kindness of two women discovering that love should never require either of them to become smaller. With an orange-and-white cat ruling Rosie's apartment, a devoted community watching over them, and new opportunities drawing both women closer to their dreams, Rosie and Karen must decide whether old wounds will control their future-or whether they are finally ready to choose each other. Set beneath fairy lights and beside steel rails, *Engine of My Heart: Fairy Lights on Steel Rails* is a warm, emotional sapphic romance about ambitious dreams, healing, found family, and a friendship becoming something neither woman can deny. Sometimes the person destined to change your life arrives long before you understand why. This story is complete. New chapters every Thursday and Sunday.

When Maggie Driver purchases an old home tucked away on the edge of Hawthorn Mountain, she knows she isn't buying just four walls and a piece of land. The realtor gives her the history every buyer should know-the house's final occupant was Evelyn Haywood, a woman whose name became whispered throughout the mountain after the brutal murder of her husband in August of 1964. The story was written off as a tragedy. A closed case. A piece of Hawthorn Mountain's darker history. But Maggie has always been drawn to the stories people leave behind. As she restores the forgotten rooms of the house, she begins uncovering pieces of Evelyn's life that never made it into the records-old photographs, hidden letters, and secrets carefully buried beneath decades of silence. Because houses remember the people who lived inside them. ______________________ A book from the collection of the Hawthorn Mountain Novels "Every Hawthorn Mountain novel stands on its own. Different characters. Different genres. One mountain where every story begins with something the mountain never forgot."

Book 2 of Seasons Between Us Series He came in without asking. Staying was different. Staying meant choosing the same porch every evening after work. It meant repairing old floors instead of replacing them. Splitting firewood before the first snow. Learning that home isn't something you inherit- It's something you build. As winter settles over a quiet Kentucky county, Lena and Tate find themselves creating a life between grease-stained work shirts, handwritten pages, Christmas lights, and the steady warmth of a wood stove. The little house they've been piecing back together begins to feel less like a project... and more like the place they'll never want to leave. But love doesn't stop growing once two people find each other. It asks bigger questions. What does forever really look like? How do two people build a future without losing themselves? And what happens when staying becomes more than a promise- It becomes a choice they make every single day. Set among the backroads of Appalachia, where neighbors still wave from passing trucks and everyone knows the stories behind old houses, When He Stayed is a slow-burning Kentucky romance about first Christmases, calloused hands, quiet mornings, family, and discovering that the strongest kind of love isn't found in grand gestures. It's found in the ordinary moments that make a house become home. Because sometimes the greatest love story isn't about who comes into your life. It's about who stays.
