“Ms. Miles’ words melted into each page until the world receded around me....” (Tome Tender)

He’s the beloved founder of Dare Valley’s respected Hale family, but in 1960, he was just starting out with a vision few believed was possible.

She was the daughter of the man he ruined on his way to the top—or so she thought.

Journalist Arthur Hale is determined to be on the forefront of change. A successful New York City journalist, he returns to his hometown to start a newspaper that will channel the voice of the West and join the ranks of other prestigious papers in the trade.

But the bigger the dream, the higher the price. Arthur's ambition and drive isolate him, and the only person who can break through his self-imposed solitude is Harriet Jenkins, his talented and mysterious secretary. Though Arthur's sixth sense as a journalist tells him the beautiful and complicated redhead is hiding something, he can't stay away.

What he doesn't know is that Harriet Jenkins is actually Harriet Wentworth. A newspaper article ruined her father and sullied her family name, and now she's out for revenge on the journalist who wrote it: Arthur Hale.

As she gets to know Arthur, Harriet discovers he's not the monster she thought he was. He's a man of integrity, committed to uncovering the truth at all costs. Soon the impossible happens when tragedy strikes their small town, and she finds herself falling for the man she set out to destroy. But can the two build a future on a foundation of lies and ugly truths?

Ava has more waiting for you in her binge-your-heart-out small-town blockbuster. Filled with romance, family, second chances, suspense, and happily ever after, treat yourself to the whole series today.

The beginning of the Hale family saga. Aurther's story of his beginning. How he started paper and meet his wife.

A beautiful story

I’m so enjoying this series, especially how they all come together somehow. Romantic, some suspense, family royalty and realistic Life‘s. I’m looking forward to the rest of the family/friends coming to Dare Valley. Thank-you for leaving the narrator Em Eldridge.

Slow Going

The story started out slow which made it hard to keep my interest in the beginning. BUT it did get better. Turned out to be a delightful book
