Breaking Past (A Stevenson Family Story, #3) / A Stevenson Family Story (ePub)

River James tried to leave Cascade Creek more than once. Now she's resigned herself to a life in the town where she grew up, and she's happy, even if, sometimes, it feels as though something is missing.

When she meets Jake Maclean, it's clear the man has his burdens, yet she can't stop thinking about him. His shyness, talent, and kind heart endure Jake to River faster than she would have liked. She's open to a future with Cascade Creek's handsome interloper, but Jake is much more resistant. The question is, can she make him see, that he, and his future, are worth fighting for? Or will Jake successfully drown their chances of love in his past pain?

Jake Maclean loves his family. So, he knows they're better off without him. When Jake moves to Cascade Creek to escape his past and the pain he's caused, he isn't looking for a new beginning. Living in the tiny town is supposed to be his penance, not a second chance.

It takes a feisty woman with eyes who look into his soul, a three-legged dog, and the unflagging support of his sister Carmen to help Jake shed the pain of his past. Will he be able to embrace his new life, and a chance at love? Or will the struggles of his past get the better of him, again?

There's no better healer than love!
