Book excerpt: SHE’D LEFT HER HEART IN WILLOW VALLEY Laurel Windsong had thought leaving Willow Valley—and her first love, Ben Skeeter—would be the hardest thing she’d ever done. But returning home ten years later proved much more difficult. Rumors swirled around the small town about why she’d come home, if she’d returned for good and whether she and Ben would give in to the undeniable sparks that still flew between them. But she had secrets in her past, demons she needed to conquer, before she’d be able to give Ben her heart. Would he wait for her, or had she lost the only man she’d ever truly loved?
