An Unexpected Homecoming
Returning to her hometown to clear out her late mother’s house, Vanessa Donovan’s goal is to do the job quickly and escape. She refuses to get involved with Rory Sanderson, her handsome neighbor. And she can’t let herself be dazzled by his smile and caring ways. Because if there’s one thing Vanessa won’t do, it’s fall for a minister. While the pastor in Rory wants to mend Vanessa’s wounds, the man in him can’t resist the beautiful woman. But while he’s helping her, Vanessa is doing the unthinkable—healing his own deep scars and opening his heart...if he can convince her that love is worth the risk.
“You don’t have to be alone.”
“I don’t need help.” She panicked as she imagined him being at the house with her every day, watching her.
As he walked away, he said over his shoulder, “I hope one day you stop seeing me as the enemy and let me be your friend.”
“I can’t,” she said, tears burning her eyes. He was a minister. “I can’t be your friend, Rory.”
“Or you can’t let me be your friend?” Before she could answer, he turned back. “I came here today because I saw someone in need. Not as a minister but as a person.”
And then he was gone.
Vanessa wanted to run after him. But she had to be strong and fight the temptation. She’d taken care of herself for a long time now. Why should she believe a sweet-talking preacher who made her feel safe?
Her confusing thoughts about Rory had to stop. Because growing close to him would be a bad idea.
So why did she want to believe him?
