Publisher's summary

A sweet romance about the challenges of returning home to face your first love and who you used to be.

Former free spirit Zoe Collins swore she’d never again set foot in Copper Creek or speak to the man who broke her heart. But return she must when her beloved Granny dies, leaving the family legacy to Zoe — a peach orchard nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

When Zoe returns home with her daughter and boyfriend Kyle, she finds that she’s the only person in town who doesn’t expect her to give up the life she’s established far away from Copper Creek. Everyone believes she was born to run the orchard, but how can she make it her home after so many years?

Cruz Huntley never quite got over his first love, Zoe Collins, the little sister of his best friend Brady. Not when she cheated on him during their “break,” not when she took off to parts unknown with good-for-nothing Kyle Jenkins, and not even now — five years later.

As life-changing decisions and a history with Cruz hang over Zoe’s head, tensions rise between her and Kyle. Even as she comes to terms with the shifting relationships in her life, Zoe still isn’t sure if she can remain in Copper Creek with her new responsibilities...and her first love.

This inspirational contemporary book is the first in the Blue Ridge romance series.

Book length: approximately 90,000 words.

Includes group discussion questions

Happy Ever After

It's no surprise that the guy gets the girl in this cute story, but it lacked the one thing Denise Hunter does well...those awkward, sexual tension, full of attraction moments! Still a great read!

Audio narrator

Books narrated by Carr are difficult to judge. Her reading is a superficial news-telling void of the music of words. It is pushed along at a frantic pace as if to get it over with.

I liked the story, just difficult to follow the narrative with no change in tone. except for the daughter.
No disrespect intended to the narrator

Horrible

One of the worst books I have ever read. Dialogue forced. Characters boring. Plot predictable.

Narrator sounds like seri reading directions

I Started listening to this book and although the book has an interesting plot been there Raider has totally ruined listening to this book! Her voice sounds like she is Siri reading directions! So I’m going to have to buy the hardcover and read the book myself. Looking forward to reading this book since the narration is unbelievably bad!
