The Return

Trevor Benson never intended to move back to New Bern, North Carolina. But when a mortar blast outside his medical unit in Afghanistan sends him home with devastating injuries, the dilapidated cabin he inherited from his grandfather seems as good a place as any to regroup. While tending to his grandfather's beloved beehives, Trevor is not prepared to fall in love with a local resident. Yet from their very first encounter, Trevor feels a connection with deputy sheriff Natalie Masterson that he can’t ignore. But even as she seems to reciprocate his feelings, she remains frustratingly distant, making Trevor wonder what she’s hiding. Further complicating his stay in New Bern is the presence of a sullen teenage girl, Callie, who lives in the trailer park down the road. Claiming to be a friend of his grandfather, she hints at knowing the circumstances of the old man’s death but offers little in the way of details. In his quest to unravel Natalie and Callie’s secrets, Trevor will learn the true meaning of love and forgiveness . . . and that in life, to move forward, we must often return to the place where it all began.
