North Star

He hoped for a miracle. He got a Kindergarten teacher.

Of all the things on my “to do” list, dating wasn’t even listed at the very bottom. I have enough to do searching for a new job and a place to live…and repairing my shattered heart.

Then, I literally fell into the path of a stranger—twice.

Sparks flew—twice.

Now I know him as Alex, the uncle and guardian of the quiet little boy in my classroom whose sad smile makes me want to scoop him up and hold him tight. Alex wants to do the same to me if only I’d let him.

Finding the courage to open my heart to love a second time isn’t easy. But when it comes to these two, I’ll put it all on the line again…including whatever it takes to keep our pasts from destroying our future together and hurting the little boy we both love.

(Note: this book is part of a 2-part series. Alex and Kayla’s story concludes in True North, available now.)
