SummaryIn the space of a few months Vanessa buried her husband,
Matt, and gave birth to their son—breaking her heart
while filling it with a whole new kind of love. But the one
man she longs to share this love with now acts as if she
doesn’t exist.
Paul Haggerty lives by the marine motto: Semper Fi. Ever
faithful to his best friend, he’s done right by
Matt’s widow as best he can...considering he’s
been secretly in love with her for years. Now, just as
he’s about to make his move, another woman has staked
her claim on him—a claim that will be tough to escape.
With courage, humility and not a little meddling from the
good folks of Virgin River, Vanni and Paul might just get a
second chance to have the love they both desire and deserve.
