The Long Way Back to Juniper Falls

He left without saying goodbye. He came home to find the one person who never stopped waiting. Twelve years ago, Ethan Hale left Juniper Falls, Maine, without a word. Now he's back, with his late grandfather's hardware store, a mountain of debt, and one condition in the will: keep the doors open through the Lantern Festival. Sheriff Jack Moreno never left. He has spent twelve years keeping the peace, keeping his secrets, and keeping a spare taillight bulb in his trunk, just in case. Six weeks of sawdust, storms, and stolen glances. A town that has been watching all along. And a developer who wants every building on Main Street, including the one Ethan can't afford to keep. Some people leave. Some people stay. And some are brave enough to come home. The Long Way Back to Juniper Falls is a steamy, small-town, second-chance gay romance with humor, heart, and a happy ending. Book 1 in the Juniper Falls series. Content notes: romance between two adult men, with sensual scenes; grief over the loss of a family member; themes of fear of disclosure and financial stress.
