What brought you up here? Ah, long story. I was looking for a change. I was a nurse-practitioner and midwife in L.A. and took a job here—population just over six hundred. It was supposed to be for a y...
Now that he’d seen her, he knew what he’d long suspected. He was far from over her. *

The thing about the hard times, the stupid times, they make you who you are. And regrets—I look back and ask myself if I didn’t do a certain thing that I’m really ashamed of, how would that change the...
They had their Christmas-gift exchange right before he left town, and when she opened her gift and saw the boots, she wept. No one had ever given her a gift like that in her life and he enjoyed succes...
You could’ve offered the girl a warm place to sleep, Jack said. It’s pretty clear Hope didn’t get that old cabin straight for her. Don’t feel up to company, he said. Then Doc lifted his gaze to Jack’s...
Oh, boy, Mike thought. It was going to happen between these two any second, right in the hospital hallway. Mike was a good six feet and pretty strong, but Brad and Jack were both taller, broader, angr...
The night, Charlene made the long ride
Luke, I love you. I promise that each day I have you in my life, I will show you my love. Noah’s eyes drifted to Ellie’s and a smile played about his lips as the bride and groom spoke. Shelby, I love...
I wish he could see his son. Paul brushed at the tears on her cheeks. He sees him, baby. He’s got the best seat in the house. Yeah, she said, the tears flowing. Yeah, I guess. Paul slipped his arm und...
