Synopsis

Wildly romantic, Every Reason Why is the second in the Pine Springs series--small-town Michigan, where there's community, drama, heat, and heart. Leah's never truly known what it means to feel at home until she settles at Amity Court. But Jackson Hale wants to take it all away. When Jackson inherits the historic mansion from his grandmother, Esther Hale, the last thing he needs is her bizarre final request: to allow Leah Raven, Esther's perky tenant, to stay there until the house is sold. It's infuriating and he doesn't want her company. Leah's found a sanctuary within the walls of Amity Court, and she isn't going to let some frustrated city businessman cash in his inheritance without resistance--not while there's so much pleasure to be had in ruffling his feathers. Although Jackson has learned not to rely on anyone, Leah, with her sunny smiles and silly jokes, soon starts to make that feel like a lonely choice. Forced to live side by side, the walls between them begin to crumble. But with Jackson's controlling father pressuring him to sell and a loan shark threatening not only the family business but Leah as well, the two will have to decide what matters more: the security of the lives they've built independently, or the chance at something real together. Sometimes home isn't a place--it's finding the person brave enough to see who you really are.
