Hotel manager Abigail Blanchard has dealt with her cold and controlling parents her entire life. When she was in college, her parents made a decision that forced Abigail to stay away from Clay, leaving her world turned upside down. After bending to her parents’ will that one last time, she’s found a way to move beyond it to build her own life on her own terms. Bumping into Clay Bedford again, however, was not something she’d planned for.
When Clay responds to an accident involving Abigail somewhere off the beaten path in the Smoky Mountains, he has no idea how seeing her again will change his world. After an unexpected night together, the pair realizes the spark is still there between them. Will they be able to overcome their past or will Abigail’s parents force them apart forever?
There's just something about a small town that makes relationships interesting, whether they are romances, long-running feuds, or life-long friendships. These are the relationships H.C. Bentley enjoys discovering and exploring. Well that, and the fact she just loves a good happily ever after or second chance story.
When she's not writing, H.C. works as a cataloging librarian at her county library. In her spare time, you can find her playing pool, traveling with her family, or curled up watching movies (romantic comedies are a favorite!). She's also an avid reader, leaning towards various authors of romance and chick-lit, but her favorite is Nora Roberts.
A southern girl at heart, H.C. calls Kentucky her home. After opting to join the military to pay for college, she spent three years stationed in Wiesbaden, Germany before returning to her hometown in rural western Kentucky, where she and her husband live with their two daughters.
H.C. loves chatting with readers. You can contact her through the website, or any of her social media.
