Andrea Phillips lost her father and nearly lost her son to the elements after an ill-fated backpacking trip to the mountains. Wyatt Merrill and his father Jack had risked their own lives to help, and she could never thank them enough. When her son Jeffrey struggles in the aftermath, she makes the move to Cherry Blossom Point to be closer to Wyatt and her new job writing an advice column for the local newspaper. She never expects to meet and lock horns with the town’s grouchiest mechanic, and she certainly never expects to start wondering what that scruffy jawline would feel like beneath her fingertips... Lena Merrill’s wish has finally come true. Her family of two has just become a family of four, and she couldn’t be happier. But even as baby Addy settles in quickly, Sam is struggling. And who could blame him? He’s suffered so much loss in his young life. Now it’s up to Lena and Owen to prove that they are truly his forever family...and they aren’t going anywhere. Now that she’s found a cache of buried treasure, PI Fallyn Rappaport doesn’t have to worry about money. She can take the cases that move her. When she hears about the kidnapping of six-year-old Wren “Birdie” Hazelton, she leaves Bluebird Bay and heads straight to Cherry Blossom Point to help. But when she arrives, she finds a tangled web of lies and deception. Can she find Birdie before it’s too late, or will this latest case end in tragedy? -- Adapted from page [4] cover.
