But it also means relying on the kindness of strangers and, when she meets local park ranger Joel Drummond, opening her heart to the possibility of something more . . .As tensions in the country town rise, can Charlie reconcile with the past and find herself a new future in the town she left so long ago?At the moment the Kindle edition of Close To Home is available for pre-order on Amazon but I'll let you know when other links are available.Hope you love the cover as much as I do!
