Sweet River Redemption

Katherine Grant takes the job at Sweet River Christian Academy hoping a small town in the wilderness of Maine will be a vacation from her high-powered career and a break from the emotional toll of the secrets she has buried deep. With the school director on a power trip and evidence of shady dealings, there’s nothing relaxing about it. Maybe it would be easier if she wasn’t so distracted by Captain MacAlister, the local cop she can’t get along with, yet can’t get out of her head. She didn’t trek up to the middle of nowhere to lose her heart.

Erin Sullivan has had to endure the rumor mill of Sweet River, Maine, grinding through her family's scandals for years. Being a single mom and the subject of small-town misinformation and judgment had taught her not to hope for good things. No matter how strong her feelings for Pastor Dan Connors, she planned to keep them buried for the sake of his reputation and the good of her own heart. When Erin sees that Dan is alone in his struggle, she reaches out to help, and he comes to rely on her strength and kindness. Erin tells herself it's only friendship, but it quickly becomes more.

As the new game warden in Sweet River, Alex Moretti is focused on enforcing Maine’s wildlife laws and little else. Moving from tragedy to a fresh start, all he wants is a way to fix his life in the tranquility of the north woods. Until he meets Annie Caldwell at Coffee by the Book. But his own bitter, dark life is a threat to Annie’s sweetness and light. It’s better for him to stay away.
