Love In Magnolia

By Nicole Spencer-Skillen

It's no surprise that Riley Wilson became a police lieutenant in Magnolia Springs. It's where she grew up. She loves her job, home, and family, and she takes protecting the residents of Magnolia very seriously as her father and grandfather did before her. A call about a disturbance at the derelict Baker house on the outskirts of town has Riley on high alert. There she meets Amelia Baker , a University of Texas graduate with a failed business, a recent ex-fiancé, and an intrusive, obsessively dominating mother. There's something about Amelia, she's captivating and charismatic, and Riley is quickly drawn to her energy. A friendly welcome turns into Riley's proposal to help clear out the inherited Baker house. There, they uncover a secret, and the love story surrounding Amelia's grandmother soon becomes the catalyst for their future relationship, sending Riley and Amelia on a road trip to uncover the truth. Amelia is looking for purpose, and a place to call home. Riley is battling with her inability to love and feel like she is deserving of love. They take time to explore Magnolia and find comfort in spending late nights on Riley's porch. Just as they start to break down barriers and allow their feelings for one another to deepen, Amelia's mother comes crashing into town with a vengeance--she is desperate for her daughter to return to Houston. Can Amelia resist her mother's persuasion? Can Riley lower her guard, shed her reputation as a lone wolf, and realise what's right in front of her?
