A Love to Last. Romance In Willow Creek, #46

Brenda Miller and Mike Carter have worked side by side for nearly a decade, building shelves, sharing lunches, and trading easy laughter in the heart of Willow Creek. They've always been the perfect team - reliable, steady, comfortable. But when a slow dance under the summer lights stirs feelings neither of them can ignore, everything changes. Suddenly, the line between friendship and love blurs, and Brenda finds herself terrified of losing the one person who's always been there for her.
As whispers of "something more" ripple through town, Brenda pulls away - afraid that love will ruin what's always been safe. But when a storm rolls in, forcing her and Mike to face each other - and the truth they've both been avoiding - they'll discover that sometimes, love doesn't break what's strong. It rebuilds it. Set against the sweet, small-town backdrop of Willow Creek, A Love to Last is a tender friends-to-lovers story about second chances, quiet courage, and the kind of love that feels like coming home.
