Florida Keys Romance

Sometimes the only way to move on is to come home.

After losing her twin sister and her husband in two life-shattering tragedies, Christy Wright has found purpose in the chaos. As acting chief of the Key West fire brigade, she saves lives daily. But when a string of arsons strikes too close to home, Christy is forced to confront her painful past.

Enter Aaron Butler, her childhood best friend. The man who walked away without looking back. The one she never stopped loving...

Now, with danger circling and a past neither of them escaped, Christy has a choice: guard her heart and risk everything… or let herself believe that even broken people can find their way home again.

Set against the sun-soaked beauty of the Florida Keys, Starting Over in Key West: Leave a Rose in the Sand is a heartwarming tale of forgiveness, family, and finding love again when you least expect it.
