Marley Braxton is fresh out of college and homeward bound. Well if that was what you would call Manawa, the small town Marley was originally from. Marley hasn't been back since after the death of her father 12 years earlier when she was only ten years old. Marley is nervous and reluctant to visit the people her father her once called family. But they are aging fast and its been too long already.
In this tale, Marley's intentionally short adventure back home quickly turns into an escapade of events. All starting with an accident that by chance reunited with the boy she had once hated, giving her the chance she'd been searching for to begin again.
But will the short time Marley spends in the little town be enough to bring her home for good? Or will she run away again when things get tough?

Together Forever
A story of five boys, four families and one home that feels like always. Three older brothers. Two younger ones. Five boys who grow up under the same roof. They're raised as brothers and that's exactly what they are. Kian, the eldest, is always just a little taller, a little steadier. Ezra comes next-bold, loud and never far behind. Nico, somewhere in the middle, is calm like the eye of the storm. Then come the youngest two. Ryan-or Ray-is born first. Curious, sharp, already claiming every brother as his own. And just two months later, little Elijah, or Eli, arrives. Ray isn't thrilled at first. From Ray's quiet confusion when his "youngest" crown is taken, to the moment he hears Eli say his first word before he ever spoke his own. From tantrums over sharing "their" brothers, to creating a secret world of just two, Ray and Eli grow up tangled in each other's lives like roots from the same tree. This book follows the youngest two as they grow-through snack wars and sleepy cuddles, secret codes and chaos. Surrounded by three very protective older brothers and four very chaotic (and loving) families, they learn what it means to be home-even when everything else is growing and changing around them. They make a promise. To be there. To protect. To stay. Together Forever, Whatever It Takes. ____________________________________ Disclaimer: This is a story about friendship that chooses to be family.

Tis the Damn Season | ✓
After losing her job and her girlfriend, it's time for Annie Abraham to admit defeat and move back in with her parents. She has hardly been back to her tiny Montana hometown since the unforgettable summer before her senior year of college, when she agreed to babysit for Laurel Jacobs. Annie didn't expect to fall in love back then, and she never thought that after all this time she'd still be in love with the woman she walked away from when she was twenty-one. Laurel Jacobs has never gotten over Annie Abraham. It's been almost a decade since their fling and she can't move on. She has her kids to think about - at least, she tells herself that's why she hasn't been on a single date since Annie left. Her life was different back then: when they met, she was in the middle of a divorce with two young kids and no idea how the future looked. Now she owns a bookstore, her kids are growing up, and she's too busy for romance. Annie thought she would have more time to settle back into life in Deer Pines before being confronted by the love of her life, but she's not that lucky. After all this time, she's back for good and Laurel is the first person she sees, when she has just spent seventeen hours on a train and she's desperately in need of caffeine. It's the first time they've seen each other in eight years and it isn't long before all those old feelings come rushing back to the surface. They weren't buried as deep as they thought they were. A lot has changed since they last saw each other, more than either of them realize, but life hands out second chances for a reason. The first time they fell in love, the timing was wrong. Now's their chance to make it right. © Elle Carrigan 2023Complete
