At 21 life is supposed to be a party, right?
Wrong, for Kenna McDowell it means learning to live on her own after depending on her parents for years after an accident left her with no memories of her life before she was seventeen years old. She thought it'd been difficult learning how to read and write again, but that had nothing on keeping a job, learning how to cook or keeping up with the way Riley Harper makes her feel. Determined to find her way in this alien place Kenna does her best to discover herself, dodge her Aunt Catherine's wacky attempts at matchmaking and prove to herself that home can be anywhere.
This is the sequel to My Highland Home and the story of what happened to the "real" Laird McDowell's daughter.

Reasons to Stay | ✓
Ethan's standing on Highland Bridge at midnight, ready to end it all, when a girl appears out of nowhere with ice cream and zero intention of leaving him alone. Riley's either an angel or completely crazy - he hasn't decided which. But her offer is simple: give her until her birthday, just two months away, to prove life is worth something. After that, whatever he decides is up to him. He expects nothing. Instead, he gets midnight drives and way too many milkshakes. Gets random star quotes she's memorized just to make him roll his eyes. Gets stupid jokes that somehow make him laugh when he swore he'd forgotten how. But the closer they get, the more he sees through her smile to the shadows underneath. And as her birthday approaches, Ethan realizes keeping Riley alive might be the only thing worth living for.Complete
