Together Is Where We Belong

Eight years after fleeing Haven Valley under bitter circumstances, a single mother returns to her small hometown with her young son to escape a dangerous stalker. She expects cold distance from her first love, Leo Courtright, especially since he never knew about the boy who shares his bright blue eyes. When Leo ends up living next door, the unresolved hurt between them resurfaces. He steps in to protect her family and quietly fix her porch steps, forcing both of them to confront past regrets and figure out if they can move forward together. Expect a gentle, slow-burn second chance romance grounded in small-town warmth and a touch of light suspense. The story keeps the romance strictly clean and closed door, focusing on emotional healing, shared history, and sweet kisses. It suits readers who love protective cowboys, rekindled first loves, and family-centered fiction without explicit content.
