Where She Belongs — Cindy Procter-King

She never wants to go home again.

For Jess Morgan, Destiny Falls holds too many painful memories. Nine years ago, a logging accident near the remote timber town killed her dad and her high school sweetheart. Despite Jess's broken heart, her mother immediately sought comfort with another man. That choice tore Jess apart and drove her to seek a life far away. But now fate steps in, and family obligations force her to return home. Before long, Jess is convinced that persuading her mom to live with her in Toronto will repair their bond and Jess s own sense of belonging. However, she doesn't count on a long-ago friend re-entering her life and challenging those same convictions.

Rugged forester Adam Wright believes in family, roots, and not running from heartache. Now all he wants is to help Jess break down the walls of the lonely sanctuary she's built for herself and heal her past hurts. But it's not until she rejects his proposal that Adam realizes his dogged persistence has pushed her even further away not at all what he intended.

Has he lost his chance? Or can he convince Jess that where she truly belongs is with him . . . forever?

Set amid British Columbia's lush forests, Where She Belongs delivers an engaging romance with complex characters, honest emotion, and heart.
