Lost & Found Love — Laura Browning

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.
