Why does starting over have to be so hard?
Sweet and gregarious Penny Barron was just sure handsome Gus Amherst was finally "the one." But after his protective streak evolves to controlling and then abusive, she decides enough is enough. When her childhood friend CeCe gets in an accident and needs some temporary care, Penny figures this is her opportunity. She leaves Gus a goodbye note and flees Boise for small town Huckleberry Ridge, Idaho, to be near CeCe and make a fresh start.
When Gus decides he's not ready to let Penny go and shows up in Huckleberry Ridge unannounced, CeCe's neighbor, police officer and confirmed bachelor, Josh Wickham, comes to her rescue. Both are surprised by the spark of attraction that steadily grows between them. But Penny is carrying a secret guaranteed to wreck any new relationship ... which is exactly what happens when she finally reveals it to Josh.
Is there still a chance for love to bloom? Or has Penny's deception ruined her second chance forever?
Book 2 in the Huckleberry Ridge Romance series.

Love a good, clean, happy ever after as much as me? Then hop on over to my site at www.ktraineromance.com and grab your free copy of my short story "Twice a Fool," by signing up for my monthly Dog-gone Short and Sweet Update. It is indeed short and sweet and always contains a pic of a dog guaranteed to make you smile.
My favorite stories involve spunky, sweet heroines and strong, swoon-worthy guys who aren't afraid to take charge ... oh, and a dog in the mix never hurt either. So those are the type of books I write! I live in the beautiful mountains of North Idaho--inspiration for my Huckleberry Ridge Romance series--with my hubby of 30 years and our adorable Beagle mix Stella.
When I'm not reading or plotting my next novel, I enjoy gardening, hiking, and soaking in my hot tub during the cold months. I do housework when I must and laundry when we run out of clean underwear. If you want to know more, visit my website or reach out to me directly at kt@ktraineromance.com. I promise to answer. Happy reading!
