Two strangers. One small town. And a past that won’t stay buried.
When Presley Ingram loses the only mother she’s ever known, she finds more than grief in her adoption file — she finds a torn envelope with an address in Hope Springs, Virginia. Desperate for answers and direction, Presley leaves behind her life in Charleston and heads to the mountains in search of the truth.
What she finds instead is a charming town, a dream job at a local boutique inn, and a ruggedly handsome bartender who just might be her second chance at love.
But Everett Baldwin is hiding something — a past life, a different name, and a dream that nearly destroyed him. Presley senses it in the way he looks at her, the way he listens too closely, the way he’s always watching the door.
As secrets unravel and emotions ignite, Presley and Everett must decide: will the truth break them apart, or set them free?
Ashley expertly weaves all the lives and stories into one amazing book that is hard to put down. This is a beautifully written, heartfelt story that stayed with me for days, even after the last page was turned. This series is a definite winner and somewhat contagious as I can’t quit thinking of Stella and the lives that she has impacted at the Inn at Hope Springs!
Filled with drama, emotion and heart, the characters’ stories are expertly woven together and I felt like I was right there in Hope Springs. I truly enjoyed this engaging and heartwarming book and can’t wait to read the next installment in the Hope Springs series.
There are no guarantees in life.” This is the second book in the “Hope Springs Series” and it is a winner! It can be read as a stand- alone, but why not read “Dream Big, Stella” to get all the feels of this adorable, whimsical village! … This is a happy, warm story with friendship, love, hard work and a bit of sadness that makes it all the more real. I truly cannot wait for the next book in this series! Thank you Ashley Farley for your wonderful stories!
