Staying Home: A Small-Town Second Chance Romance (Windsor Peak Book 2)

About this book

Years ago, Dan Burrows walked out of Windsor Peak, leaving behind the small town and the woman he loved. Now, he returns humbled and jobless, realizing that abandoning Kendra Knight was the greatest mistake of his life. However, the woman he finds is no longer the girl he left. After surviving a traumatic, abusive marriage, Kendra is a fiercely protective single mother and a successful business owner who keeps her heart under lock and key. This poignant second-chance romance follows a classic "returning home" trope as Dan attempts to earn his way back into Kendra’s life. He is persistent, helping at her business and bonding with her daughter, slowly chipping away at the walls she has built for self-preservation. But just as they begin to navigate their complicated history, the past violently claws its way into the present. When Kendra’s dangerous ex-husband returns to threaten her safety and custody of her child, the stakes skyrocket. Forced to rely on the only man she once trusted, Kendra must decide if she can risk her heart—and her daughter’s future—on a man who claims he has finally learned how to stay. Dan must now prove he is no longer a boy who runs, but a protector who will fight for the family he desperately wants to claim.
