The Way Forward: Volume 1

The small town he couldn't wait to leave is calling him home...

Dax Ellis returns to Colton, Mississippi, a changed man. He traveled the world, earned a fortune,
and made a lifetime of memories, but now he longs to put down roots. Time hasn't been kind to
his hometown, and Dax wants to help--if only he can convince everyone he's not the same
petulant boy he used to be. Especially the one woman who has every reason not to trust him.

Librarian Callie Colton cherished summers with her grandparents, in the town her ancestors
helped build, in spite of the boy who called her names. Now that Colton is her home, life is quiet
until Dax returns...and, along with him, threatening letters on her doorstep. He may still have the
power to hurt her, but she's not the same scared little girl she used to be.

But as the danger escalates, Dax will have to face his past to find a way forward for the
relationship they were cheated of once before.
