Learn moreArmed with only a journal and a promise, soldier Ian Carlisle returns home to fulfill his friend’s dying wish: to find the man’s daughter and read her his journal, one page at a time. The woman he finds in River Rock, Missouri, is just as warmhearted, artistic, and feisty as her father described. Ian had fallen in love with Charlee McKinley before he even met her, but he has no idea if she’ll ever return his feelings.
Charlee loved her father—but she didn’t like him very much. Regimental and strict, Major Mack never approved of his daughter’s choices. So when a down-on-his-luck soldier arrives on Charlee’s doorstep, she’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, but not her heart. It isn’t until he starts reading to her that the beautiful, touching words begin to unlock something deep inside. But when Ian reveals a secret that shakes Charlee to her core, will she close herself off to love out of fear?
Heather Burch’s debut novel, Halfling, was released to critical acclaim in 2012 and garnered praise from USA Today, Booklist, Romantic Times, and Publishers Weekly. Her 2014 release, One Lavender Ribbon, was a #1 bestselling book on Amazon and received an award for having 175,000 Kindle First readers. She writes full-time in Southern Florida in a house where she is the only female. This led her to an interest in the relationships that form between men, especially soldiers, which she explores in her Roads to River Rock series. She lives to write unforgettable stories that make hearts sigh.
Reviews
“Heather Burch draws you into the story from page one and captures your attention, your emotions, and your heart strings until the very end. She reaches into your very soul with a story that is so real that it stays with you for weeks after the last page is turned, the last sigh has floated away, the last giggle has played out, and the last tear is shed.” —Carolyn Brown, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author
