      Love Comes Home

      All Maggie West has ever wanted is a family to call her own. But her new neighbor, single dad Kellen Ashby, is definitely not the man to make that dream come true. His daughters are sweet and silly, the kind of kids Maggie used to imagine having herself. But Kellen has just inherited the inn Maggie manages—her former family home—and the two butt heads at almost every turn. He’s handsome, and clearly a devoted father, but with all the changes taking place, Maggie worries she may soon be jobless, homeless or both. At war with her emotions, Maggie will have to decide what truly matters—heart or home.

      She tried to pack away her dreams of a family.

      Locked the wish up tight in an old chest in her heart and tossed the key. The days of hoping for a husband and longing for children were gone.

      Yet in the car, listening to Kellen and his girls, the dream almost felt attainable again. If she couldn’t have a family of her own, perhaps she could grow old next door beside Skylar and Ruthy. Sure, it wouldn’t have the marriage part. A man like Kellen would never settle for a woman like her.

      Maggie stole a glance his way.

      He looked over at her again. Their stares collided and Maggie’s breath caught. Kellen was handsome. Ten times more handsome than any of the other men in Goose Harbor. And then there was that voice…

      “Sing with us, Maggie.” He winked again.

      “I…I don’t know the song.” Her gaze broke with his and skittered to look out the window.

      That was the crux of everything, wasn’t it? I don’t know the song. What did she know of love and romance?

      A car door slammed outside, jolting Maggie West awake.

      Like tugging a quilt to cover her body on a cold morning, she yanked on the edge of her dream in an effort to fall back to sleep again. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to force
