Autumn Fires

Jenna Whitmore has gotten very good at managing life alone. After years of being told she couldn’t make it, she moved her fifteen-year-old daughter to a quiet blue house in Blue Otter Cove and built a world with no loose ends. She’s content with it — until park ranger Sam Colby crosses her path. A widower who’s kept to his trails for twenty-six years, Sam steps in with her prickly teenager and shows up with a generator ahead of an autumn storm, asking for nothing in return. Then her toxic ex threatens a custody battle, and Jenna discovers that holding her ground is easier when she’s not the only one standing on it.
