A PLACE TO BEGIN AGAIN

Twelve years ago, Maren Blake left Lantern Key - and Gabriel Navarro - without a word.
Now the preservation engineer has been hired to save the island's historic firehouse. The last person she expects to find standing in her way is Gabe - the firefighter she never stopped loving and the man who has every reason not to trust her.
Gabe has spent years convincing himself Maren's disappearance no longer matters. But forced to work beside her, old anger gives way to an attraction neither can ignore. Then a sealed room is discovered inside the station, holding evidence connected to the fire that killed Gabe's uncle.
As someone moves to destroy the truth, Maren must finally reveal why she ran. To save the firehouse - and each other - Maren and Gabe will have to decide whether some damaged foundations should be abandoned... or rebuilt together.
A heartfelt second-chance romance filled with small-town warmth, buried secrets, danger, found family and a hard-won happily ever after. A Place to Begin Again is Book Two in The Lantern Key Firehouse Series and can be read as an interconnected standalone romance.
