A Promise Of Home: Small Town Romance

I read the ebook form of this story. Branna returns to Lake Howling to claim her inheritance from her best friend, mentor, and substitute mother. Branna is knocked down by a boy on a bicycle and injured, but she won't admit to how badly she is hurt as she heads to her new home. Her lawyer's secretary runs into hometown hero, Jake McBride and guilts him into checking in on Branna on his way home. Jake is veteran and former doctor who suffers from severe flash backs and cannot work as a doctor any more. He does recognize how severe Branna's injuries are and he drags her to see his mom. Jake can also recognize Branna's extreme fear, but knows that having his mom treat her is the best thing for Branna. Branna is used to being alone and having only herself to rely on, but the longer she stays in Lake Howling the more she starts gathering people around her only Jake isn't sure that Branna sees that. Soon it becomes clear that someone is trying to either scare Branna off or get rid of her permanently. Branna's estranged father shows up, an old enemy becomes a new friend, an old friend becomes a better friend and a kindred spirit is found in a little neighbor boy. Read the book and see if Branna and Jake can help each other heal and form a relationship, see if Branna can reconcile with her father and see if she can help the little neighbor boy. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own
