Where Hope Begins

Lila Hall has spent years running from her past. After an abusive relationship and a life she can't escape, she drives into the small town of Fairhaven hoping to disappear and find peace. The town is quiet, where everyone knows everyone, and no one expects anything out of the ordinary. But when she meets West James, the local bad boy with a heart of gold, she finds herself slowly unraveling in ways she never imagined.

West is everything Lila swore to stay away from-tough, brooding, and with a reputation. But what Lila doesn't know is that West has a side to him no one sees. The whole town knows him as the sweet guy who'd drop everything to help a friend, the guy who'd never turn his back on someone in need. As their lives become intertwined, Lila must decide if she's willing to open up to the possibility of love-or if her scars are too deep to heal.
