Nora Crane found herself stranded with no home, no money, and two small daughters. She was discovered by the folks of Virgin River, a squatter in an abandoned home with minimal protection from the elements. As we have come to expect, the people of Virgin River rallied around her and helped her slowly get back on her feet. Nora longs to be self-sufficient and to be able to care for her daughters. That takes one thing she doesn't have... money. When she sees a posting for jobs harvesting apples at Cavanaugh Orchard she is more than willing to walk the 3.4 miles for an opportunity for a full-time job and financial security. Tom Cavanaugh sees the pretty young woman walk in the door and immediately senses danger to his peace of mind. He tells himself he can't hire Nora because she couldn't handle the manual labor, though his instant attraction to her is probably a bigger factor. Unfortunately for him, his grandmother is more than happy to overrule his decision and hires Nora on the spot. It's not long before Tom is looking forward to driving Nora to and from work and enjoying their evolving "friendship." What will it take for Tom to understand that a readymade family may just be what he needs? SUNRISE POINT is a sweet story of love blooming among the apple trees. As we've come to expect from Ms. Carr, she has crafted a strong but tender hero and a determined and loving heroine. The love between Tom and Nora blooms slowly as they become integrated in each other's lives, first as co-workers, then friends, and then lovers. Fans of the Virgin River series will enjoy the familiar rhythms of the story.

SUMMARY

Former marine Tom Cavanaugh’s come home to Virgin River, ready to take over his family’s apple orchard and settle down. He knows just what the perfect woman will be like: sweet, decent, maybe a little naive. The marrying kind. Nothing like Nora Crane. So why can’t he keep his eyes off the striking single mother? Nora may not have a formal education, but she graduated with honors from the school of hard knocks. She’s been through tough times and she’ll do whatever it takes to support her family, including helping with harvest time at the Cavanaugh’s orchard. She’s always kept a single-minded focus on staying afloat...but suddenly her thoughts keep drifting back to rugged, opinionated Tom Cavanaugh. Both Nora and Tom have their own ideas of what family means. But they’re about to prove each other completely wrong...
