Where the Mountains Hold Us: A Smokies Romance Novel

When Laurel returns to the Tennessee mountains after a family loss, she expects only to settle the future of Riverlight, the beloved guesthouse that has been part of her family for generations. Instead, an unfinished list of photographs leads her deep into Great Smoky Mountains National Park-and back into the life of Grant, the man she once loved and never completely forgot. As Laurel and Grant revisit quiet trails, misty overlooks, and old memories, their second chance at love becomes tangled with difficult decisions about family, careers, and the meaning of home. With opportunities threatening to pull them in different directions, they must decide whether loving each other means holding on-or finding the courage to grow without letting go. Where the Mountains Hold Us is a warm contemporary romance about second chances, choosing a life that truly fits, and discovering that home can sometimes be both a place and a person.
