Stay ~ Applewood Series #1

Abby Gannett is content with her simple life working at the favorite local café, living with her grandfather and staying in at night. To some it appears dull and boring, but for Abby the predictability and loneliness of her existence is the safety blanket she's used ever since moving to Applewood as a little girl.

Jesse Smith has at long last escaped from his stifling life, now free of responsibilities he was once felt burdened with. Applewood is a blessing with its peace, quiet and laid back nature. He's finally in control of his life, until his eyes land on the beautiful girl with big brown eyes and a shy smile.

There is beauty and pain in letting go. Will they both hold on tight to what they thought they wanted, or will they let go and make peace with the past?
