The Home We Make: Chris & Tiffany's Story

By: Armstrong, Tegan E.

What if going home means reopening wounds you fought to bury? What if it's the only way to find love - and the one place you swore you never return to?

Tiffany Samson escaped Port Arbor, Ohio the moment she could. But when her father's hospitalized, she packs up the life she built - and the daughter she adores - and heads straight back to the town she vowed she'd never live in again. Moving into her childhood home was supposed to be a temporary fix. But nothing about coming home has been simple. The walls remember everything she's tried to forget, and every shadow stirs up the jagged memories she's spent years suppressing.

Then she runs into Chris Bartkowski, the boy-next-door turned into a dangerously handsome professional hockey star, recovering from a career-threatening injury. He's steady, kind, and unexpectedly patient. He's also the last man Tiffany should want. He isn't in town for the long run, and he can't be hers.

Unfortunately, he's also impossible to resist.

Chris never forgot the sharp-tongued girl with wary eyes. But the woman she's become hits harder than any slapshot. She's all grown up and fiercely protective of the daughter who steals his heart the instant they meet. As old memories collide with new feelings, earning her trust might be the hardest fight he's ever faced - and the one that could change everything.

For readers who love their romance tender at the core, spicy at the edges and the kind of healing that feels like coming home. Perfect for fans of Catherine Cowles, Devney Perry and Brittainy C. Cherry.
