What if everything you knew about home was wrong? This holiday season, things are heating up this sexy and heartfelt romance about coming home, facing the past, and finding hope.

Lifestyle photographer Samantha Redding left her home years ago with no desire to come back. Small town life in Brandywood, Maryland is too full of hurtful gossip, overblown feuds, and bad memories. But when her mom gets sick, Sam's holiday visit with family turns into a longer term stay she wasn't prepared for.

Forced to relocate a looming Christmas project, Sam finds herself in need of the people from her hometown-and drawn toward Garrett Doyle, her ex-boyfriend's best friend. Sam has never seen Garrett as anything more than a "frienemy," so why is he so hard to resist now? But getting involved with Garrett has the potential to be a powder keg to other frail relationships and the sparks between them are burning just a little too hot.

As secrets buried deeper than the winter snow start to surface, no one is safe from heartache. The only way for Sam to move forward is to face a past she'd rather forget . . . or risk losing a love she never thought possible.

A contemporary romance with steamy, open door romance and tear-jerking moments about emotional wounds and finding forgiveness, All This Time is the first book in the Brandywood Small Town Romance Series. CW: alcoholism, abuse, cancer, language
