Hope for the Holidays — Alison Kent

Sometimes a first love needs a push... or a pregnancy.

Priscilla Reddy has returned to Hope Springs following a breakup she should've seen coming. The small Texas Hill Country town is where she wants to raise her child. But on her first day back, she runs into the reason she left: the man whose life she ruined.

Cary Browning was a geek in high school and remains a geek today. His work as a comic book creator gives children hope -- and a survivor to cheer them on. But now that Cilla's back, he can't escape memories of his own damaged past… or what he did to protect Cilla's.

Is Hope Springs big enough for both of their secrets… and a future?
