Last Stop At Paradise Kristin Wallace

When Callie Dalton's charismatic, televangelist husband falls into disgrace, Callie goes down with him. Now he's dead, leaving Callie to face the wrath of the public alone. With nowhere else to go, she takes her two young children and escapes to a place she's spent most of her life trying to forget. Shellwater Key holds memories of sweet childhood friendships...and the tragic death of her mother. Most everyone is horrified when Callie moves back in to the same house where her mother died, but after the scandal her options are limited. Except that same house now comes with a bonus...a handsome "pool boy" with changeable eyes, a killer smile, and shoulders wide enough to carry every one of her burdens. Noah Johnson isn't actually a pool boy. He's the carpenter and resident "angel" at The Paradise Dinner Theatre, now owned by her friend, Layla McCarthy. After a disastrous and humiliating job hunt, Noah helps engineer a position as House Manager at the theatre. A chance to start over is an answer to prayer, but every instinct warns that proximity to the sexy and enigmatic Noah could be the most dangerous complication to Callie's life...and her wary heart. But when she learns the truth about Noah's story and his former occupation, she's ready to run again. It will take a willingness to face her tragic past and embrace the possibilities of tomorrow for Callie to find the love that will finally set her free.
