Returning Home

I swore I’d never move back to Alder Creek.

Not after losing Dad. Not after building a successful career in Chicago as an architect.

But someone had to deal with the family home, and three weeks should have been enough—renovate, sell, move on.

I didn’t plan on Evan Spencer. My best friend’s older brother. My secret high school crush.
Back then, he was the charming football star. Now, he runs the town’s most successful construction company… and he’s the only one I trust with the house.

Between Evan’s support, his lovable dog Scout, and friendships that feel like no time has passed, Alder Creek is starting to feel like home again.

But I have a plan—and it definitely doesn’t involve falling for him.

Returning Home is the first novel in the Alder Creek series. It’s a cozy small-town romance with all the sizzling chemistry and none of the spice.
