Summer’s Return by Dora Hiers

Will his summer’s return set her secret free?

Moondust Cove holds too many memories and too much pain to keep Gentry Tomlinson grounded, but the small town does have one thing he wants. No, make that two. Everlee Armstrong, his longtime neighbor, and his family. What’s left of them, that is. Staying away eases the pain and allows him to forget–at least for a little while–his guilt over the tragic deaths of his parents and sister. But when his friend and business partner dies and Gentry returns home for Gramps’s summer wedding, the tug to stay and grow roots is stronger than the pull to leave again.

Interior Designer Everlee Armstrong has loved the youngest Tomlinson brother since he used to chase her on the playground in elementary school. But until the prodigal accepts that the accident that scarred his family wasn’t his fault and finally comes home to stay, she’ll keep that secret forever. That secret threatens to unravel, though, as his amazing talent surfaces, and they’re forced to work together on several projects at work.

Will God unshackle the chains of guilt and heal him? Can Everlee trust that the wanderer is finally home to stay? Will his summer’s return set her secret free? Or will he abandon her yet again?
