Reach for Me (Vacation Sweethearts #2)

He has left his homeland to protect his family.
She has fled her hometown to abandon hers.
A mountaintop experience brings an optimist and a pessimist together in the valleys of their lives.


REACH FOR ME is book 2 in USA Today bestselling author Jan Thompson’s Vacation Sweethearts collection of contemporary Christian romance novels celebrating the immeasurable grace and undeserved mercy of God. These Vacation Sweethearts novels are a spin-off of Jan’s inspirational Savannah Sweethearts series.

In his valley of determination…

His friends call him O’Tierney the Optimist. Even after having lost two legs and an arm in a bomb blast and having undergone numerous reconstructive surgeries, disabled United Kingdom Special Forces veteran Keenan O’Tierney is excited about facing unknown new challenges.

Honorably discharged due to his heroism in fighting terrorism on behalf of his grateful nation, Keenan has given enough to his country. Yet, the enemies have been going after him and his team in an act of personal revenge. To protect his family, Keenan leads a trail away from Britain.

He hides in a remote resort in the misty mountains of Tennessee. As long as he keeps away from his loved ones, they are not in danger from those vendettas.

Up in these mountains, Keenan could stay off the grid and remain incognito. When the storm passes by, Keenan wants to go home to his large and extended family in Ireland, and retire for good.

In her valley of discouragement…

Bearing the burden of a mistake-riddled life, prodigal adopted daughter Phoebe Pace has nowhere to go. She finds solace in the Great Smoky Mountains, living in quiet regret, not forgiving herself, and being unable to ask God to forgive her. She thinks her days are purposeless, with her job at the funeral home not improving her grim outlook on life.

And now the most good-looking guy Phoebe has ever met is staying at a log cabin two doors down from hers. She has no intention of seeking friendship outside her small, safe circle of friends, while wallowing in her own remorse that is no one else’s business.

What is she going to do with her new neighbor encroaching on her favorite swing—and drinking her favorite coffee!—on the mountaintop porch overlooking spectacular vistas they both now share?

Just when Phoebe begins to think that she might open up her heart to Keenan, the ex-soldier’s unfinished business pulls her into other people’s problems, and the danger comes knocking…on the wrong door.
