She’s an American college student studying in France. He’s a reclusive ex-pat who’s given up on love. Can these two find a future together despite the odds and the ocean between them?

Spending a summer in southern France might be a dream to some, but all college senior Chloe Garrick wants is to go home to Lindsey Point. The only redeeming quality of studying abroad is her next-door neighbor: the kind, mysterious, disfigured Bodhi Lawson.

Bodhi has mastered the art of living alone. Scarred by a fire as a boy, he’s grown used to the stares of strangers and the rejection of women. Living in a small European town suits him well. But when Chloe moves in next door, he finds himself opening up to the bubbly American in ways he never imagined.

At first, Chloe counts the days until she can return to the States, but the more time she spends with Bodhi, the more she wants to know about the man behind the mask. When an unexpected tragedy summons her home early, will Chloe and Bodhi retreat to the safety of the worlds they’ve always known, or take a chance and risk it all for love?

If you like small-town romance, beauty and the beast fairy tales, and you’re a fan of Nora Roberts and Robyn Carr, you’ll love the final story in the emotional Hometown Heroes series.

Each of the Hometown Heroes books is a stand-alone novel, which means no cliff-hangers and a complete happy ending each time. If you'd like to read them in order, though, you'll meet up with familiar characters in each book. Enjoy!
