Book Description
The USA Today bestselling author of Sweet Carolina Morning crafts a “charming and well observed novel about finding the courage to love after loss” (Holly Chamberlin, author of The Family Beach House). Susan Schild welcomes you back to the offbeat Southern town of Willow Hill, North Carolina, for a humorous, heartwarming story of new beginnings, do-overs, and self-discovery . . . When it comes to marriage, third time's the charm for Linny Taylor. She's thrilled to be on her honeymoon with Jack Avery, Willow Hill's handsome veterinarian. But just like the hair-raising white water rafting trip Jack persuades her to take, newlywed life has plenty of dips and bumps. Jack's twelve-year-old son is resisting all Linny's efforts to be the perfect stepmother, while her own mother, Dottie, begs her to tag along on the first week of a free-wheeling RV adventure. Who knew women “of a certain age” could drum up so much trouble? No sooner is Linny sighing with relief at being back home than she's helping her frazzled sister with a new baby . . . and dealing with an unexpected legacy from her late ex. Life is fuller—and richer—than she ever imagined, but if there's one thing Linny's learned by now, it's that there's always room for another sweet surprise . . . Praise for Susan Schild and her novels “A wonderful, heartwarming story—charming characters with a chance of romance and adventure.” —Tammy L. Grace, USA Today bestselling author of the Hometown Harbor series “Charming, funny, feisty. I totally loved this novel.” —Cathy Lamb, author of All About Evie “A wonderful storyteller.” —Judith Keim, author of A Summer of Surprises

Book Description
Some secrets have a way of coming back and haunting us, no matter how much we try to bury them. Chelsea Coming back home was supposed to be normal. Not that my life had ever been normal, but it was getting there. Then I opened the door and found a man-broken, bloodied, and fighting for his life. I don't know why, but I said I would take care of him. I had to. Needed to. He was a mystery, showing up from out of nowhere. But he might have already stolen my heart. Mayson Carey The only thing I have ever wanted in my entire life was to forget who I was. Joining the military helped me do this. Keep your head down and glide through life was my new motto. No strings, no relationships. Nothing. Everything was working until a knock at the door had me face-to-face with the reason I was running. So I ran-I fell into her arms, and she fell into my heart, but I know better than to think it'll last. Some secrets have a way of coming back and haunting us, no matter how much we try to bury them.

"Surprise me," the words fell from my lips before I even realized what I was saying. Didn't matter though, they were true. I'm ready to start our forever. I want the future he and I have spent hours talking about, but I've never had the courage to reach out and grab it. Now I do. I knew on our first date; she was the girl I was going to marry. I told her so every chance I could get. Even went as far as asking more times than I can count, but never on one knee. I knew that she wasn't ready, but I needed her to know that I was. I've been planning for weeks, wanting to make everything perfect. I took her words to a whole other level, and now I'm worried I've gone too far.
