With Grandpa suffering a heart attack, Juliette Hollander saw little choice but to head back to their Tennessee mountain farm in Happy Valley to help out. She didn't expect, or want, to leave behind her life and work in North Carolina to return to her grandparents' home so soon. Nor did she imagine meeting, and working with, the mysterious man she met briefly last summer and never thought to see again. Walker Logan spent the last two years traveling the United States, seeing the beauty of the country and running from his past. But an old rock house he sees while hiking near Abrams Creek Campground unexpectedly calls to his soul. With danger close behind, he never stayed in one place long enough to put down roots. Yet now, with a new vision, he decides to take the risk.
