Mending Her Heart

Madi Hardin was perfectly content hiding away and nursing her broken heart. Her uncle had other ideas, and she soon found herself on the road to Kentucky. Filling in as a temporary nurse in a tiny Appalachian town meant she was far away from everyone she knew, and everyone who knew what happened. She didn't expect to find out she'd be working in close quarters with the first man who ruined her life.

Mike Broadman loved his life and his work in Deercreek. He was far from the boy he'd been when he first encountered Madi. What happened at the bonfire that summer was still with him. As he fell in love with her, he wondered if she'd really believe he had changed.
