"She lost her way in grief-he helped her find love, and God, again." She came to Story, Arkansas to escape the silence of grief. What she found was a home she didn't know she was missing-and a love she never saw coming. When nurse practitioner Samantha Hayes uproots her life and moves to the tiny town of Story, Arkansas, all she wants is a fresh start for herself and her ten-year-old son, Ryan. Still reeling from the loss of her husband, she's not looking for anything but peace and a place to breathe. What she doesn't expect is Liam Brown-the guarded local doctor who's as rooted in Story as the oak trees lining the ridge. Liam's not interested in hiring someone new, let alone trusting a stranger with his patients. But Samantha's quiet strength, stubborn heart, and deep well of compassion begin to thaw even his most hardened doubts. As Samantha adjusts to life in the Ouachita Mountains, she finds unexpected allies in Liam's sister Isabelle, a tight-knit faith community, and a farmhouse filled with second chances. But when Liam is called away for Army Reserve duty and returns wounded-both in body and spirit-they must decide if what they've built can survive the distance between them. Told through quiet moments, handwritten letters, and the hum of rural life, Love in the Ouachitas is a moving story of rebuilding, resilience, and the kind of love that comes not in spite of the broken places-but because of them. This is a stand alone novel but there are other books coming that follow characters within this one.
