Matching Points (Driftwood Cove #1)

She doesn't hold his past against him...can he forgive hers?

Fresh out of prison, Asia Jessup wishes she could change her past and maybe her future. She has no family and no one to turn to. All she has is her newfound Christian faith. She returns to the town where she spent a coupe of idyllic summers to find family she didn't know she had. Her devastating secret won't bring a joyful reunion. Will it destroy her last hope?

Ian Kittridge has his own thriving restaurant, is a respected business owner, and is active in his community and church. Thanks to a teenage Asia's empathy one summer, he'd been pulled back from the brink of ruining his life and ending up like his father--a murderer. He is working hard to eradicate the past and rise above the murmurs of "like father, like son."

When Ian runs into Asia he can't believe she's returned to their coastal California town. He's eager to reconnect, but he isn't looking for a serious relationship. He can't take the chance of becoming like his father. Asia is wary of Ian's friendship because of her shameful past and the sins of her mother and father. As Asia's secrets quake the family she hoped would accept her, can she and Ian find their way through the storm to a peaceful resolution and a hope-filled future?
