      The past has its place...in the past!

      Innkeeper Shay James has been telling herself for a decade that she’s over her ex-fiancé, Jonah Cedar. But now the Chicago attorney’s come home to care for his ailing grandfather, reawakening powerful feelings—along with painful memories. Shay can’t afford to repeat history.

      At twenty-two, Jonah couldn’t wait to trade his secluded Alaska hometown for big-city success. Shay was supposed to share that dream. Yet even with unresolved issues between them, their connection is stronger than ever. Jonah’s visit was only going to be temporary…until a threat to Shay’s beloved Faraway Inn gives him a reason to stay and fight for that second chance.

      Jonah sat next to her on the blanket.

      A gentle breeze stirred her hair, and she tucked the loose strands behind her ear. She pulled some snacks out of her backpack.

      His voice was soft as he said, “I never look at a piece of licorice without thinking about you. Still your favorite candy?”

      “Still my favorite candy,” Shay answered as her heart squeezed painfully.

      She didn’t want him remembering her favorite candy and being nice to her. Arrogant, selfish, materialistic Jonah she could handle. She could even manage bitter and sarcastic Jonah. Kind and thoughtful Jonah was too much like Old Jonah.

      And Old Jonah, she reminded herself, was dangerous.

      Dear Reader,

      True forgiveness is one of the most difficult aspects of life for me to tackle. In fact, I would put forgiveness right up there under grief on my list of life’s most extreme challenges.

      Shay James has spent years grappling with a particularly cruel combination of both. And she’s finally accepted that some of the things other people take for granted in life just aren’t in the cards for her. She’s...if not exactly happy...then at least content, and that’s the most she can hope for under the circumstances.

      Isn’t this the perfect moment for her attorney ex—and the primary cause of her issues—to reappear in her life and turn her careful world upside down? Especially when Jonah Cedar is back in Rankins reluctantly and for reasons that might not be what they appear? Add the well-meaning “help” of family, a bit of legal trouble and the inimitable town of Rankins as the backdrop and, well, poor Shay...

      At its heart, this story is about healing, self-discovery and love—love of family, friends and community—and the power of forgiveness.

      I hope that, like me, by the end you’ll have laughed and cried and be left cheering for Shay to allow Jonah to argue—and win, the case that could change everything for her—A Case for Forgiveness.
