How far would you go to fix the mistakes you've made and regain the trust you lost? For Jade Jessup, the
answer is 2,448 miles. Once one of Chicago's significant financial advisors, Jade lost her credibility when her
fiancé (and coworker) stole millions of dollars from their clients in a Ponzi scheme. Now she's agreed to help
one of them--an aging 1960s Hollywood starlet named Berenice 'Benny' Alderidge--seek financial restoration.
Jade sets off along Route 66 with Benny and her handsome adult foster son, Bridger, who is filming a
documentary retracing the 1956 trip that started the love story between Benny and her recently deceased
husband, Paul. Listening to Benny recount her story draws Jade into memories of her own darker association
with Route 66, when she was kidnapped as a child by a man the media labeled a monster--but she remembers
only as daddy.
Together, all three of these pilgrims will learn about family, forgiveness, and what it means to live free of the
past. But not before Jade faces a second staggering betrayal that changes everything.
Is the life she can’t remember one she’d rather forget?
One year after her family was in a tragic car accident that killed her teenage son, Lori Mendenhall returns home with a traumatic brain injury that has stolen the last eight years of memories from her, leaving the life she has returned to unrecognizable.
Her once-loving husband, Michael, is a distant workaholic she isn’t sure she can trust, and her once-bubbly daughter, Avery, has spent the last year hidden away in her room.
If Lori wants to reconnect with her family, she’ll have to uncover the information her brain is trying to keep secret. As memories return and past secrets resurface, it will take the whole family to repair what’s been broken and find a new future together.
To protect those most vulnerable, Haven Haviland must trust her heart--and her regrets--to a mysterious newcomer in this moving contemporary romance.
Few in the community of Whisper Canyon have actually met Jace Daring, a handsome recluse who lives at Aspen Crossroads, the farm at the edge of town. But that doesn't stop the rumors about the multiple women who live with him. He must protect the truth--that his farm-to-table restaurant will provide new livelihoods for women rescued from human trafficking--or he risks the safety and futures of those relying on him. But he can't do it alone.
Haven Haviland has always been everyone's safe place to fall until one mistake closes her counseling practice and leaves her open to the town's gossip. Trusting men has gotten her in trouble before. However, accepting Jace's job offer to mentor the rescued women seems like the perfect way to right her wrongs.
When the mayor's campaign to clean up Whisper Canyon targets Aspen Crossroads, the restaurant comes under fire, dangers from the women's pasts are awakened, and Haven's sins are exposed for all to see. Jace would sacrifice himself to save Haven and the women under his care, but his efforts might not be enough. And in the end, it might not be the women most in need of saving after all.
