With unusual secrets she’s left the big city behind as she follows her heart to Wishing Springs, Texas for a simple life as the new owner of the Sweet Dreams Motel—she’s looking for a simple life so the last thing she’s expecting is the heart-knocking effect the handsome sheriff has on her. Lara Strong needs a new beginning and as a reader of the Gotta Have Hope newspaper column, she’s drawn to this very special town. Her heart needs to heal to stay strong like her father, who was as tough as his name, always taught her before she lost him. Now she is moving forward in her own way, buying the motel, living a quiet life helping customers feel the comfort of home while they visit. She’ll touch their lives briefly, bring satisfaction and healing to hers. This is the security she needs, only knowing her customers briefly and therefore feeling no pain when she watches them drive away. Jake Morgan has a town to look out for, a ranch to keep up and a heart to keep locked away. But the moment he meets Lara something inside of him sparks to life. Something he’s conflicted about but unable to deny. But sometimes despite your strength, if loves got a hold on you it’s a hard thing to deny…and if the town is on the side with that love—two people fighting to stand their ground might just find that they’ve got to find hope in their heart’s determination to open up to love and each other. Happily-ever-after is just a few heart touching, eye-opening moments away, if Jake and Lara will give it a chance. Welcome back to Wishing Springs, Texas where love happens and the town cheers it on…and sometimes gives it a shove in the right direction.
