The first standalone book in the Peace Crossing series—clean and sweet small-town romance with big heart and a bit of grit.

Sometimes the star you wish on is the one that leads you home.

Delanie Fletcher was supposed to be a star. Instead, one viral disaster has left her career in ashes, her love life in ruins, and her reputation in the hands of strangers with internet access. Returning to Peace Crossing to bury her grandmother feels like the universe rubbing it in.

Then she discovers Nan’s final gift: a kids’ play that needs a director. And how could she say no to the woman who put her on a stage? The only problem is Caleb Toews. Her high school sweetheart. The one she left behind. Now a single dad with a quiet life, the audacity to still look at her like she hung the moon, and the perfect skills to step in as her assistant director.

Between chaotic rehearsals, a cast of scene-stealing kids, and a small town that never forgot they were meant to be together, Delanie realizes the spark between her and Caleb never really died. But Nan traded the spotlight for love and a life behind the scenes—a sacrifice Delanie has never wanted to make. Now, with her heart torn between two very different worlds, can she and Caleb find a future on the same stage?

Quotes from the Book:

“Look. First star of the night…”

Caleb pointed out the living room picture window and helped Delanie to her feet, pulling her to come stand next to him. “Make a wish.”

Delanie gave him a long, uncertain look, then glanced at the pinpoint of white light before closing her eyes for several long seconds. He stared at her, drinking in her presence, knowing she couldn’t feel uncomfortable about his gaze if she couldn’t see it.

Her eyes fluttered open, and she blushed. “Were you looking at me the whole time?”

His face warmed. “Maybe,” he mumbled.

“Didn’t you make a wish?”

He shook his head. “I don’t need to. My wish is standing right here.”

He pulled her into him and enveloped her in his arms. She stiffened, then relaxed and wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning into his chest.

“I have a confession to make,” he said. “I never got over you. Not for a single second.”

After a pause, she said, “A wish isn’t enough to overcome all the obstacles between us.”

“No. But it’s enough to make me believe we could. This time, I have no intention of letting you go anywhere without me. Whatever happens, I want to give us a fair shot.”
