Follow Your Heart

By LM Spangler

She left love behind, but he followed his heart...and her.

Paige Havalland left her career as an attorney in her father's law firm and the older man she loved for small lake-town living. She thinks love is something she can never have because of her new career. Then Ben shows up at her bed and breakfast, throwing all her preconceived notions about love and life topsy-turvy.

Benjamin Beckett has a plan for a future in the small town of Riverbend, Pennsylvania. The possibility of a new law office and being with the woman he loves calls him from the hustle and bustle of big city living. He's sure he can reignite the fiery passion he and Paige shared two years before but convincing her that they can overcome her notions about their relationship will be a different story.

This is Paige's one shot at true happiness. Will she push Ben away or follow her heart to have the life of her dreams?

I sighed. Why does it matter so much?

You know you mean a lot to me, Paige. Benjamin ‘Ben’ Beckett ran his hand through his silver-toned hair.

My body is important to you, nothing more than that. My father left me their old house in Riverbend. I’m going to turn it into a bed and breakfast. This law shit has never been for me, I’m not lawyer material. I faced the window.

The sun had begun to hide behind the horizon, painting the sky in shades of pink, purple, orange and blue. The end-of-the-workday whiskey I sipped burned a path down my throat into my empty stomach. 

Ben grabbed me, spun me around and deposited my ass onto my desk.

What the fuck? I sputtered.
