Mia Jonathon Franklin has been living a nightmare since her husband, Troy, died in a tragic accident, leaving her alone with two young children and a dwindling bank account. So when Mia is offered a chance to save her house, it seems like the answer to her prayers-until she learns the ridiculous quota required to complete the deal. She's in over her head...but then her deceased husband's best friend steps up to help. Enter Cody Hart-Troy's best friend, haunted by his own grief and survivor's guilt. He has loved Mia from afar for years, and when he sees her struggle, he can't just stand by. Torn between his dreams of reviving his family's fishing business and his desire to support Mia, Cody steps in to help. As they work side by side to breathe new life into the island's Main Street, old feelings resurface, and the chemistry between them ignites. But will their shared past and the weight of their losses keep them apart?
This sweet novel is full of tender moments that will cause many happy sighs. Cody Hart, the hero, is swoon worthy, with the biggest heart, and a fierce love for Mia Franklin. He’s the guy every smart woman would want in her life. Mia, the heroine, lost her husband two years before the story starts and wants nothing more than to build a good life for her two adorable children. The story deals with overcoming loss and learning to trust not only other people but also God when bad things happen. In some ways, it’s almost an underdog story where both the hero and heroine must fight for the things they love most. The book will keep you entertained and invested to find out if Cody and Mia will finally see each other for what they’ve always been—more than friends. You’ll love Meet Me on Lilac Lane, but I recommend reading the series in order for everything to make sense.
