Homecoming at Hickory Ridge

All eyes are on Kyle Lancaster. Recently released from prison, he is greeted in town with unease.
But not by everyone. Julia Sims is focused on his good heart, his hard work at the Hickory Ridge Community Church and their unexpected attraction. At first, Kyle thinks he's her new pet project: reform the bad boy. Yet he soon discovers how much firsthand knowledge Julia has of family problems, forgiveness and second chances. Maybe he'll get his own second chance in Hickory Ridge...and find a place to call home.
