The Road Leads Back by Marci Bolden

Sometimes the only place left to go is home.



Kara Martinson always thought her high school crush was out of her league, but they did share one night she's never been able to forget. Nearly three decades after being disowned by her parents and forced to raise her son on her own, Kara's made it--her art is being toasted at a gallery opening. Even better, she and her son are finally on stable ground. Until Mr. One-Night Stand himself crashes her party.



Harry Canton always knew Kara would make it as an artist. Almost thirty years after high school, he still considers her the one that got away. But the surprise reunion doesn't quite go to plan when Harry discovers he left her with more than just memories when he went away to college. Desperate to connect with the family he never knew existed, Harry convinces his son to move cross country for a fresh start with his father--and pleads with Kara to come home, too.



Kara hasn't stepped foot in their hometown since the day she was sent away. But her son desperately wants the father he never had and denying him that may cost her everything. Can love heal old heartaches so Harry and Kara can have a second chance at the future they were robbed of so long ago? Or will the pain of the past be too much to face?

Marci Bolden skipped over young adult books as a adolescent and went straight to romance novels. She was never seen again. Marci lives in the Midwest with her husband, two adolescent children, and a plethora of rescue animals. Marci would embrace healthy living if she had the willpower, but she'll put that aspiration on hold until cupcakes and wine are no longer accessible at the local grocery store, and she'll alleviate her guilt by reading self-help books and pledging to join a gym soon.
