A Week At Most

Sometimes, the second-chance path leads you right where you belong. Ashley Lanovan never imagined her life would unravel so quickly. Divorced and unemployed by thirty-five, the former big-city newscaster finds herself adrift and in desperate need of a fresh start. When a friend offers her a housesitting gig in the quiet town of Nature's Crossing, Ashley reluctantly accepts, hoping to piece together her shattered confidence. But small-town life is a far cry from the bustling city she's used to navigating. CIA agent Mark Garmund is no outsider to danger, but when a security breach threatens his life, he retreats to Nature's Crossing, a far cry from the high-stakes world he's used to. Seeking solace away from his Washington, DC legacy, Mark encounters a welcome surprise: Ashley Lanovan, the charismatic woman he met through friends years ago. As they reconnect, Mark sees an opportunity to redefine his future and seize a second chance at happiness. In a town that offers redemption and renewal, Ashley and Mark must navigate their growing connection while confronting the lingering threats that could unravel everything. Can they both embrace the second chances life has offered, or will the shadows of their pasts pull them apart? Standalone read in a small-town series. Book #2, Time To Grow is also available.
