What We Found Along The Way (Fayetteville Forever Book 2)

Fayetteville history professor Laura Bennett has worked hard to build a safely predictable life. After surviving a toxic relationship that left her trust shattered, she prefers the quiet company of 19th-century diary transcriptions over the unpredictability of romance. But her carefully curated peace is destroyed the moment the tattooed, entirely too attractive man next door fires up a power saw.
Kai Vance didn’t come back to Arkansas to make friends. Carrying five years of sobriety and a heavy heart, he has one goal: restore his late grandparents’ home, sell it, and return to Chicago. He certainly doesn’t plan on clashing with his sharp-tongued neighbor, nor does he expect his overly friendly labradoodle to dig a hole straight through her boundary line.
When a local beautification project forces the unlikely duo to work side by side, the irritation between them turns into undeniable heat. But both are guarded by old scars. Laura from a relationship that left her trust in pieces, and Kai from the guilt of mistakes he can’t rewrite. As their pasts threaten to tear down the fresh foundation they’re building, Laura and Kai must decide if love is worth the risk of opening old wounds, or if some walls are safer left standing.
