Saving Laurel Springs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781617732805)

"In a heartwarming novel set amid the lush splendor of the Great Smoky Mountains, Lin Stepp reunites two kindred spirits in a charming story of first love and surprising second chances... See ya later-and love you forever, Rhea Dean. Those are the words Rhea's childhood sweetheart, Carter Layman, used to say whenever they parted. Not that she places much stock in words anymore. After all, Carter drove off to college in California, promising to make a fortune to help save their families' vacation resort. Instead he stayed there and married someone else. It fell to Rhea to keep Laurel Springs going and she's done just that, working long hours on the camp grounds, buoyed by the beauty of her Smokies home. Now a widower with a young son, Carter has achieved huge success as a games developer. But he always planned to return to the spring-fed lake and the soaring mountains, to the covered bridge where he and Rhea made wishes and traded kisses. He's coming home to turn Laurel Springs into the place they planned to build together. And as he reveals the truth about his past, Rhea must decide whether to trust in the man-and the dreams-she's never forgotten. Praise for Lin Stepp and her Smoky Mountain Novels "I've finally come across someone that believes in all the things that I do...love, family, faith, intrigue, mystery, loyalty, romance, and a great love for our beloved Smoky Mountains." -Dolly Parton ""An amazing storyteller...The romance exhibited is pure, natural and heartwarming."" -RT Book Reviews "A wonderful, new Southern voice." -Joan Medlicott, author of the bestselling The Ladies of Covington series "
