The Road to You by Piper Lennox

Tomorrow might be packed with regret—but tonight can be something incredible. The day of her father’s funeral, a few things happen that Lila Ashbury doesn’t expect. First, she ugly-cries. Her ex talks her into one more afternoon fling. And the biggest bombshell of them all: she’s adopted. An old letter leads Lila to an abandoned house. Restless and determined to learn who her mother was—who she is—Lila steps inside. What she’ll find on the other side of that door, she can only guess. A shirtless guy throwing a clock at her head definitely isn’t it.

Great things were expected from Shepherd Jones. He was supposed to herd the flock, like his pastor father. Become a fisher of men. Things didn’t go as planned. Fifteen months clean from the addiction that nearly killed him, Shepherd still harbors a deep shame for the guy he used to be. Ever since his landlady disappeared, he’s gotten used to living alone. If he isn’t close to anyone, he can’t hurt anyone. It’s simple. Until Lila Ashbury…Kathryn Davidson…whatever her name is…sneaks into his bedroom.

Lila wants answers. Shepherd wants a fresh start. Their road trip to find her missing mother is all business. But it’s a long road to Houston, and there’s no telling if the turns along the way will bring them together…or tear them apart.
