HMBC Quickening

By Lillian Jean Daub

Mackenzie "Jo" Rodgers isn't running toward a new life-she's running from the old one. After a marriage that left her shattered, Jo disappears into the mountains and buys a house in the small town of Plattegutte, determined to rebuild herself in peace and anonymity. But Plattegutte has other plans. A big-hearted neighbor who won't take no for an answer. A steady single dad next door who's patient enough to wait, and brave enough to see the real Jo. And two unexpected rescues that turn Jo's lonely house into something dangerously close to a home. Just as Jo believes she might belong, a message arrives from her past with knowledge it shouldn't have and questions Jo can't ignore. To keep the life she's building, Jo will have to stop running, face what broke her, and decide who she can trust ... including herself.
