A New Beginning

Sometimes tragedies are blessings in disguise…

Golden girl Holly Gunderson has always lived a charmed life, but when a rape results in pregnancy, her dreams come crashing down around her. She returns home to Murphy, North Carolina, where her parents surprise her with an ultimatum she can’t live with.

Since his beloved boss committed suicide, construction worker Alex Shepherd has spent the past eight months living on his savings while finishing projects for his boss’s widow. He arrives in Murphy almost broke, ready to remodel the fixer-upper his aunt just bought. He’s hoping his stay in Murphy will bring him some peace and also help to replenish his bank account. He isn't prepared for his aunt’s involvement with the local crisis pregnancy center or her beautiful houseguest’s struggles. Both hit too close to home.

Though Alex and Holly are from opposite ends of the social spectrum, a friendship develops between them, and they find they have more in common than they realize, until deep-seated insecurities drive them apart. But maybe this unplanned stay in the mountains holds healing for both of them, with prospects of a bright future…a new beginning.
