One by one, Amanda helped her friends navigate the waters of love to find the man meant to be their husband. Determined to have a happy ending of her own, she issues her long-term boyfriend what she thinks is an irresistible ultimatum: either they get married, or they break up. To her surprise, Rick walked out the door, leaving Amanda alone to pick up the pieces of her life.
As she contends with the life of a single mother, Amanda reconsiders her definition of happily ever after. One that involves forging new friendships, closing doors to the past, and chasing after her dreams.
Faced with the possibility of losing Amanda to the life she's building without them, Rick, along with her friends and family, find themselves working together to mend bridges. Except Amanda is always one step ahead of them and has no desire to slow down long enough for them to catch up with her. Can they convince her that being with them is the missing piece of the puzzle in her life, or will she go on to build another one on her own?
Read this small-town romance and fall in love with the friends and family of Ashbrook, Montana.
Twenty years ago, Merri Maywether went on a date with a very sweet man from Montana. Three weeks later, they were engaged and they have lived happily ever after.
If you are looking for a feel-good, happily ever after, small-town experience, I have a story for you. When I write my romance novels, the characters are inspired by the people I see on a day to day basis. Up here in what I like to call the far, far north, people work hard, live fiercely, and love knowing that they have a community behind them. When I'm not writing, I'm testing out an adventure that will end up in a book or trying a character's favorite recipe.
