“I’d like that.” Megan’s smile started in her eyes. She cupped the side of his face. “Happy New Year, Ean. Welcome home.”
Ean pressed a kiss into the palm of her hand. “My home is in your arms, and that’s where I want to spend the rest of my life.”
He lowered his head to seal his promise with a kiss. Tonight they’d celebrate their new beginning, the New Year and Trinity Falls.

CHAPTER 1
Audra Lane strode with manufactured confidence to the vacation cabin rental’s main desk and faced the man she thought was the registration clerk. She curled her bare toes against the warm polished wood flooring and took a deep breath.
“You’re probably wondering why I’m wearing this trash bag.”
“Yes.”
That was it. That single syllable delivered without inflection or emotion in a soft, bluesy baritone.
Audra’s swagger stalled.
Maybe that was his way. His manner wasn’t unwelcoming; it was just spare. He’d been the same when she’d checked into the cabin rentals in Where-the-Heck-Am-I, Ohio, less than an hour earlier.
In fact, the entire registration area was just as Spartan as the clerk. Despite the large picture windows, the room seemed dark and cheerless in the middle of this bright summer morning. There weren’t chairs inviting guests to relax or corner tables with engaging information about the nearby town. It didn’t even offer a coffee station. Nothing about the room said, “Welcome! We’re glad you’re here.” There were only bare oak walls, bare oak floors and a tight-
lipped clerk.
What kind of vacation spot is this?
