willowhaven one
Widowed at twenty-five isn’t how I expected my life to happen. Devastated, broke, and alone, I have no choice but to return to my hometown, a town I fled to escape the sorrow and memories it holds.
Six years ago, Dean Preston left Willowhaven. He destroyed our future, our budding love, and me as he rode off on his motorcycle never to be heard from again.
Until Now.
Here we stand. Two people whose lives have changed in ways we never could’ve predicted. Our road to healing is paved with old wounds threatening to tear us down.
Carrying our scars close to our hearts, we’ll have to confront what’s gone before or lose our second chance.
The measure of who we are is what we survive. Who we become is up to us.
READER PRAISE
“Filled with angst and regret and guilt and first true love. Oh I was so hooked...A beautiful must-read (pack your own tissues, chocolate and wine)!”
“This book. Wow! Just wow. This had so many feels I can’t even count them ... 5 awesome, beautiful stars! ABSOLUTELY loved this book!”
“It was heartbreaking and hopeful and devastating and humorous and simply beautiful. ”
“I cried and cried. I absolutely fell in love with the characters. The story was unfolded at the perfect pace. I could not stop reading. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.”
WILLOWHAVEN TWO
Since my father abandoned us eight years ago, I’ve done everything in my power to keep my family’s affairs private. I’m as closed off as they come, but persistent, cocky Aiden Ballad has made it his mission to remedy that.
He’s been a thorn in my side since high school, but no matter how much I want to, no matter how many times I try, I can’t resist him and his stupid sexy tattoos. At every turn, he’s there, crumbling my walls and teasing me with the promise of a future I’ve only dreamed of.
Sorry, Aiden, but we can never have a happily ever after. It’s not in the cards for me. We’re better off apart.
I think.
Secrets have a way of revealing themselves.
READER PRAISE
“I have no words for how much I loved this book. Don’t waste another moment, read this book. You won’t regret it. And that Aiden Ballard? Holy swoon!! ”
“This book has everything- humor, tension, pain, growth, trust, hope, love, and tears, tears, tears. I would definitely recommend you read it. Like, yesterday.”
WILLOWHAVEN Three
I was once fearless and adventurous, but a few years ago my world irreparably changed in an instant. Outside I appear composed, but inside I’m screaming. I want my life back and returning to the origin of my pain is the only way I know how.
I wasn’t prepared for New York lawyer Jude Rochester and his kind eyes. His judgmental-free soul and boyishly handsome looks are a dangerous combination for my heart. He’s only a visitor to Willowhaven, but it’s hard to keep our fling from developing into more.
Soon I question if I’ve found my forever, but Jude brings a whole new level of complicated, and when a shocking discovery unfolds, my messy life becomes messier.
Distance might not be the only thing threatening our future.
Your worth is not defined by your imperfections
READER PRAISE
“The author did an amazing job developing the characters in such a way to make them so real. Savannah is so flawed and such a beautiful soul. You ache for her and cheer for her. You get frustrated and just want her to let go and when she does, it is spectacular! I think this is my favorite Mindy Hayes book yet!”
“Beautiful story. I love the touch on mental illness, and grief, and loving unconditionally. I love Jude and Savannah. Just don’t read this while waiting in the dentist office because you are bound to shed some tears.”
“Oh Mindy Hayes.... you’ve done it again. This book (sigh), this book. This review isn’t even about the actual story, it’s about your writing. I know you were going through a trying time in your life when you wrote this, and, oh, how it shows in the best way possible ... The emotions you pull out with just words is a true talent.”
