The Promise of Paradise: A Friends to Lovers Small Town Romance (Hometown Heroes Prequel) (Hometown Heroes series)

Do you believe in soul mates?

Ashton Kirk—senator’s daughter, Harvard grad, and fiancée to a rising attorney—has her future mapped out until scandal shatters her family. Desperate to escape the fallout, she disappears into a small town where no one knows her name.

She expects anonymity. Instead, she gets Eddie West.

The town’s most eligible bachelor likes his cars, and his women, fast and flawless. When his new upstairs neighbor catches his eye, he’s ready for a no-strings distraction. But Ash isn’t impressed by charm or reputation. She sees the grief he hides over the loss of his kid brother and challenges the man beneath the bravado.

What begins as an uneasy friendship deepens into something neither planned. In a place built on second chances, can two people from opposite worlds risk everything and turn friends to lovers… and maybe find the soul mate they never saw coming?
