Shelter Mountain (Virgin River, #2)
Robyn Carr
For the second time in a year a woman arrives in the small town of Virgin River trying to escape the past.
John “Preacher” Middleton is about to close the bar when a young woman and her three-year-old son come in out of a wet October night. A marine who has seen his share of pain, Preacher knows a crisis when he sees one—the woman is covered in bruises. He wants to protect them, and he wants to punish whoever did this to her, but he knows immediately that this inclination to protect is something much more. Paige Lassiter has stirred up emotions in this gentle giant of a man—emotions that he has never allowed himself to feel.
But when Paige’s ex-husband turns up in Virgin River, Preacher knows his own future hangs in the balance. And if there’s one thing in the marines’ motto of Semper Fidelis—always faithful—has taught him, it’s that some things are worth fighting for.

Almost immediately, Charlene’s seemingly perfect life begins unraveling at the seams. Daughter Stephanie’s own relationship is about to disintegrate, and she might be just a teensy-weensy bit jealous of her mom.

The wedding party is now officially out of control. They’re calling for rain and the bride has cold feet. This isn’t exactly what Charlene had in mind. But maybe it’s not too late to finally decide on who and what she really wants.

Sin embargo, la doctora June Hudson ha conseguido algo portentoso… Aunque las visitas de su amante secreto, el agente de la Agencia Antidrogas Jim Post, eran tan clandestinas como apasionadas, encajaban con su exigente horario de médico de pueblo, una profesión que requería la capacidad de existir a base de cafeína, bollos de azúcar y nervios de acero. Pero, ¿cómo iba a competir un amante secreto con un novio del pasado, con alguien de carne y hueso? El antiguo amor de June había vuelto a Grace Valley después de veinte años, y divorciado. June se sentía muy insegura. Así pues, cuando una de las esposas más enamoradas del pueblo le disparó unos perdigones a su marido en el trasero y en el jardín de la casa de la tía de June, Myrna Claypool, aparecieron unos huesos humanos, June casi agradeció la distracción.

The town and its people have embraced the widowed doctor and father of two, his children are thriving, and Scott knows it's time to move on from his loss. But as the town's only doctor, the dating scene is awkward. That is, until a stunning physician's assistant applies for a job at his clinic.
Peyton Lacoumette considers herself entirely out of the dating scene. She's already been burned by a man with kids, and she's come to Thunder Point determined not to repeat past mistakes. When Scott offers her a job, at a much lower salary than she's used to, Peyton is surprisingly eager to accept…at least for now. She's willing to stay for a three-month trial period while she explores other options.
Scott and Peyton know the arrangement is temporary—it isn't enough time to build a real relationship, never mind anything with lasting commitment. But love can blossom faster than you think when the timing is right, and this short visit just might hold the promise of forever.
