Into His Arms by Simone Evans

Jesena Haust grew up on the open road with her father. They traveled town to town in their motorhome, stopping to work for short periods, then moving on. For the past several years, Jesena has dreamed of putting down roots. However, she knows she can’t leave her father.
Then one rainy autumn night, the RV breaks down on a back road near a small town named Hawthorn. She wakes to a town in the middle of preparations for their fall festival. A town where everyone knows everyone it seems. The type of town she’d always dreamed of living.
Rory Oakland is a professor at the local college in his hometown. There was a time when he’d dreamed of making a name for himself in the publishing world; unfortunately, something was missing and he couldn’t quite find his muse. So, instead, he helps others find the stepping stones to a brighter future while his own becomes dimmer.
After a chance meeting at the Hawthorn fall festival’s kissing booth, can Rory find a way to convince Jesena to stay in Hawthorn? Or will Jesena’s insecurities and her father’s wanderlust pull her away from the life of her dreams?
