Summary

Return with critically acclaimed author Robyn Carr to the fictional town of Grace Valley, California—where neighbors are like family—and just as meddlesome, too. When the town's single doctor becomes pregnant, the pastor starts playing too much poker and the town's matriarch reveals a secret paramour, Grace Valley is overflowing with gossip. But when danger threatens the town and its people, this community shows exactly what it's made of.

June Hudson is the town's doctor, a caring, capable woman who now has a bit of explaining to do. People are beginning to notice the bloom in her cheeks—and the swell of her belly. Happily, DEA agent Jim Post is back in June's arms for good, newly retired from undercover work and ready for new beginnings here in Grace Valley.

Expecting the unexpected is a way of life in Grace Valley, and the community is overflowing with gossip right now. Who is the secret paramour June's aunt Myrna is hiding? Does the town's poker-playing pastor have too many aces up his sleeve?

But when dangers, from man and nature, rise up with a vengeance to threaten June and the town, this community pulls together and shows what it's made of. And Jim discovers the true meaning of happiness here in Grace Valley: there really is no place like home.
