Star Light: Ford's Crossing Series Book 2

Micah.

Innovative entrepreneur.
Respected community leader.
Devoted father.
Single dad to a young daughter. And widower.

Over two years ago, Micah lost his wife when their daughter, Norah, was still tiny enough to fit in the cradle of his arm. The ensuing months of grief were long; the sadness, at times, all-consuming, the idea of another woman in his life, unthinkable. Eleanor had been Micah’s partner, his anchor. She was Norah’s mother. How could his heart ever make room for someone else?

But on a warm Texas night not long ago, something shifted—quietly, but undeniably. Micah felt it the moment he lifted Mari into his arms, her body soft and warm against his chest as he carried her, shielding her from further pain. With every Spanish phrase she whispered, every glance from those deep brown eyes, and the feel of her soft, dark hair as it brushed against his cheek, Micah felt his heart open. Slowly, but steadily. He noticed the way her smile tugged at the corners of her eyes, especially when she smiled just for him. Her fierce energy, her dark hair streaked with blue, her spirit so bright, Micah couldn’t help but see the light she could bring into his gray world. Marisol.

If Micah is brave enough to take things slowly, he could open his heart to Mari. But the thought of loving again scares him. Still...he can’t help but think...could Mari become his, and Norah’s too?
