      You Can Go Home Again

      The only thing Cole Merrick wants to do with the Mirror Lake property he inherited is sell it. And the sooner the better. The handsome pilot has no attachment to the place where he and Grace Eversea fell in love years ago. He never meant to break his promises—or her heart—when he left town without a word. Now, just in time for Mirror Lake’s 125th birthday celebration, he comes face-to-face with all he left behind, including Grace. And he wonders if he ought to give this town a second chance. If only he can convince Grace to do the same for him....

      Mirror Lake: A small town where dreams of finding home come true

      “Now you better get on over

      to the Redstones’ place before Grace thinks you stood her up.”

      “Stood her up?”

      “You won her basket at the box social—you’re her date.”

      “For the square dance?”

      “For everything.” Before Cole had a chance to ask Candy to clarify that cryptic response, she marched to the door, grumbling. “The last thing a woman needs is a guy who won’t step up to the plate and do the right thing.”

      The words had continued to cycle through Cole’s mind on his way to the parking lot.

      He had done the right thing.

      It was the reason he’d left Mirror Lake.

      And Grace.

      Chapter One

      “The dress is adorable, Grace! I knew that shade of yellow would look perfect on you.”

      Grace Eversea summoned a smile, trying to match Kate Nichols’s enthusiasm while she maneuvered her ankle-length skirt—and six inches of petticoat—through the narrow gap between the sofa and the coffee table.

      Add a bonnet and a pair of button-up shoes, and people just might think she’d stepped down from one of the sepia-toned portraits hanging on the wall of the historical museum.

      But then again, Grace acknowledged ruefully, that was kind of the point.

      It had been Kate’s idea that everyone who volunteered to help with Mirror Lake’s 125th birthday celebration should dress for the part in clothing authentic to that time period.

      Something Grace hadn’t found out until after she’d agreed to act as the official tour guide for the event, transporting people to unique historical landmarks and other points of interest scattered throughout the area. In a horse-drawn wagon.
