New York Times bestselling author Linda Goodnight welcomes you to Honey Ridge,
Tennessee, and a house that's rich with secrets and brimming with sweet
possibilities
Memories of motherhood and marriage are fresh for Julia Presley—though tragedy
took away both years ago. Finding comfort in the routine of running the Peach
Orchard Inn, she lets the historic, mysterious place fill the voids of love and
family. No more pleasure of a man's gentle kiss. No more joy in hearing a child
call her Mommy. Life is calm, unchanging…until a stranger with a young boy and
soul-deep secrets shows up in her Tennessee town and disrupts the loneliness of
her world.
Julia suspects there's more to Eli Donovan's past than his motherless son, Alex.
There's a reason he's chasing redemption and bent on earning it with a new
beginning in Honey Ridge. Offering the guarded man work renovating the inn, she
glimpses someone who—like her—has a heart in need of restoration. But with the
chance discovery of a dusty stack of love letters buried within the lining of an
old trunk, the long-dead ghosts of a Civil War romance envelop Julia and Eli,
connecting them to the inn's violent history and challenging them both to risk
facing yesterday's darkness for a future bright with hope and healing.
