A certain crossroad

Heiress Judith Halliday thought she had left her past behind when she fled an impulsive marriage to Dr. Neil Peyton. But fate has other plans. In the quiet Maine village of Seaboard, their paths cross again amidst an undercurrent of intrigue, rivalry, and unspoken longing. Neil, now absorbed in his work and guarded by his pride, is as distant as ever—until a web of mystery draws them together.

Judith’s arrival in Seaboard coincides with a series of suspicious activities: bootlegged liquor smuggled in blueberry cans, shadowy figures in the harbor, and a daring rescue involving a mischievous bear cub. As Judith navigates the complexities of Neil’s aloofness, competition from two enchanting locals, and her own conflicted emotions, she proves herself a resourceful and daring heroine—whether mastering a boat, taming her heart, or starting a plane.

Set against the rugged beauty of Prohibition-era Maine, A Certain Crossroad blends romance, suspense, and adventure into an unforgettable tale of second chances. Emilie Loring's deft storytelling captures the essence of resilience and love, reminding readers that the choices we make at life’s crossroads shape not only our paths but also our hearts. Curl up with this captivating novel and lose yourself in a world of mystery, daring exploits, and the enduring power of love.
