Anna Matthews is everything her sister was not...now. Once upon a time, Anna had been the one losing her virginity at fourteen in the treehouse in their backyard, running around with boys way after curfew, and falling in love. Anna seemed to have the perfect high school romance, straight down to the cheesy proposal at graduation. She was happy, until it all came crashing down and she found herself divorced at nineteen. She packed up and left the tiny town of Grayson Falls, Montana and to this day has never looked back.
Chase Branson didn't believe in love, not anymore. He was not even sure he had enough heart left in him for love, not that he had any desire for it. He'd moved on from his ex-wife, left the family farm, and is now a very successful local politician. While not exactly happy, he was perfectly content with his life, until his dad got sick. And then everything changed.
Despite belief that she would never come back, Anna found herself doing just that, for her former father-in-law's funeral. Suddenly thrown back into the arms of the family who'd once embraced her so thoroughly, she was forced to realize just how much she'd missed the little town and it's people. Her only dilemma is whether or not she can work through her issues with her ex-husband quickly enough to tolerate staying.

The Expansion of the Universe {Completed}
"My name's Elijah, by the way. It's nice to meet you, window-girl." She liked that name: Elijah. "I doubt you're even listening, but, look, I'm not here to cause problems, you know? I'm just here to chat. It can get lonely when we segregate ourselves into our own little world. I mean, maybe you like it in there," he continued, as she stared at the door separating them, "but, in case you don't, I'd like to offer my company." Instead of panicking, Liza could only focus on four words he'd said. 'Our own little world.' How had he known? She was in her own little world, consisting of her, her dog, the condo, and now, maybe . . .? Her voice was barely a croak when she spoke to him for the first time. "I'm listening." *** A horribly tragedy left Liza Garner tucked inside her condo, the only safe place she knew, terrified of the outside world and the people within it. Especially men. A change in living brought Elijah Harris into a nice new neighborhood, and he'd never been afraid of knocking on others' doors and introducing himself. Especially if a pretty woman was on the other side. This is a story about mental health, the amazing impact certain individuals can have on one's personal journey, and how making progress-no matter how seemingly insignificant-is always impressive. *** PLEASE NOTE: Rated mature for language, topics, and detailed descriptions of gore.
