I finally bought a skillet. I have gone this far in my life without owning a cast iron skillet and I feel like less of a person. Not really, but I am going to try and cook in it. WHOA WHOA…not so fast. First I have to get it from my car to the kitchen. I haven’t done that part yet. I wanted to ease into it. My partner in crime and her family came over to watch the game on Sunday and she cooked lunch for us using a skillet…with seasonings and stuff. My mom cooked just about everything in her skillet when I was growing up and I had forgotten how great the food was until last Sunday. I can easily say my baby bassets will not have good memories of their moms cooking. I just don’t cook. So this is my plan. I am going to have the baby bassets pick out a dinner from a cast iron skillet cookbook and they will help me make the dinner. Great memories will be made and soon enough they can cook me dinner. Boom. That’s how its done.

For Amanda Jacobs, dealing with the pain of losing her beloved Dad is the toughest thing she’s ever gone through, and it comes with a lot of complications, as well – like taking over the family business, Mountain Ridge Outdoor Adventures. It makes her miss the simplicity of being a teenager, when she was surrounded by her amazing friends, The Fabulous Four, and she was madly in love with her Dad’s right hand man, Justin Barnes. His sexy smiles and deep brown eyes had made her heart race in a way she’s never felt before or since. When the Fabulous Four unexpectedly show up on her doorstep to support her through this complicated time, things seem to be looking up for Amanda. But that’s not the only surprise visit in store for her…

Justin Barnes left Hope Falls ten years ago, in the dead of night, and didn’t think he’d ever set foot there again. That was just fine with him, except for one little complication: Amanda Jacobs. He had fallen in love with her unruly blonde curls and sparkling sapphire eyes, but she had been a teenager then, five years younger than he – too young for him to act on his attraction. Still, he’d missed her every single day of those ten years. When Justin receives a phone call that his former mentor has passed away, he knows he has to return to Hope Falls. Justin just has one question – will the girl that once adored him have grown into a woman that can’t stand him? Or will she still be the only thing in the world that feels like home?

**Author’s Note: Each Hope Falls full-length novel can be read as a stand-alone**
