A haven in his arms…. Welcome to Mountain Meadow, Virginia, where homecomings lead to happily ever after…   Tabitha MacVie has come to Mountain Meadow to meet the sister she never knew, and find the family she longs for. What she discovers is a close-knit community determined to close ranks against the new art teacher, especially once she catches the eye of the town’s most eligible bachelor. Tabby tries hard to keep Joe Taylor at a distance.  But staying away from the handsome preacher isn’t easy once he opens his arms to her….   Tabby is the answer to Joe’s prayers. Too bad the spirited beauty believes she doesn’t belong in Mountain Meadow—or with him.  Still, Joe can’t resist offering her shelter against the local gossips, or giving her a strong shoulder to lean on when her family hopes are dashed.  And when Tabby’s life is suddenly on the line, Joe will do anything to save the woman who stole his heart.

Welcome home to Mountain Meadow, Virginia--a small town with a big heart, where love is just around the corner All Holly Morgan wants is a safe place to have her baby. Nestled deep within the Blue Ridge Mountains, miles away from her abusive ex-fiance, Spence, Mountain Meadow seems perfect. Holly can manage a few meddling church matrons if it means Spence can't find her. Harder to handle is Jake Allred. He may be a dark-haired hunk, but he's also someone Holly can't trust: a cop. Since his time in the military, Lieutenant Jake Allred has lived to protect and serve. And if anyone needs protection, it's Holly. Having been let down by the law before, she's wary of letting Jake into her life. But when an unexpected snow storm strands them together, their attraction is hot enough to melt the mounting ice. Just when Jake thinks he's finally warmed Holly's heart, Spence strikes. Now it's up to Jake to save Holly's baby and bring their fledgling family back together.
