Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Second chance romance please! 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? The Road Leads Back can be read as a standalone which is part of an overarching six book Stonehill Series. It is a sweet, second chance, small town romance from your new favorite author Marci Bolden. If a charming, sweet second chance romance story that reconnects hero and heroine after years and years apart sounds like your idea of a good time . . . this book is for you! Guaranteed HEA & No Cheating. What readers are saying about The Road Leads Back: “This is a heartfelt tale of second, and third, chances. Kara and Harry liked each other when they were in school together, but were both too shy to approach or tell one another. They spent one night together that irrevocably changed Kara's life. Instead of college, she was homeless and sent to a community for unwed mothers. She learned to survive and raise her son, Phil. Twenty-seven years later, Harry reunites with Kara and is floored by the news he missed his son's life. Harry wants to reconnect and convinces Kara and Phil to return to her hometown. The hometown she never returned to after being forced away and hurt by those adults in whom she should have had support. Everyone has much to be angry about and no one can seem to keep their tempers. Read this journey through the pain, anger, and maybe enough forgiveness for those third chances.” (5/5) – Coral Mitchell “The Road Leads Back is the first book I've read from this author and most certainly won't be the last. I absolutely LOVED. THIS. BOOK! The book … hooks you fast. It was nothing that I expected it to be. I loved it because it was unique… and very believable…There were so many twists that it kept me engaged throughout the whole book. … This book stayed with me long after I finished.” (5/5) – Itsy Bitsy Book Bits of ItsyBitsyBookBits.com “[Marci’s] writing talent shines with her sweet romance The Road Leads Back. This all-too-true storyline evolves through vivid description and masterly written character development. The Road Leads Back gives us an in-depth view of the joys of love and what it really takes to find happiness. I recommend this book, even if you aren’t a romance reader.” (5/5) – Sloane Taylor of SloanTaylor.com (Author of French Tart, French Twist, French Delight, and 28 other works.)

Runaway Hearts

By: Marci Bolden

Samantha Turner was perfectly content being the computer guru/research nerd for HEARTS Investigative Services. After seeing what her teammates have gone through, she’d rather spend her time surfing the internet than chasing bad guys. However, when she pushes her boss too far and is fired, Sam has to find a job elsewhere. She lands at Estrada Investigations, where she earns a spot on the team like a real investigator. Soon, however, she realizes a case that Victor Estrada is researching hits a little too close to home. Holly Austin, Sam’s former boss, has been looking for the man that murdered her mother decades ago. Though HEARTS has made little progress, it seems like Victor is on the verge of a breakthrough. On her own for the first time and woefully unprepared, Sam has to protect herself, her partner, and find whoever is trying to stop them from uncovering answers buried long ago.

Jessica's Wish

By: Marci Bolden

One wish can change everything. This year when Jessica Martinson-Canton blows out eleven candles on her homemade vegan cake, she makes the same wish she’s made for as many birthdays as she can remember: she wants a mother. Jessica’s father Phil has worked his entire life to create a more stable childhood for his daughter than he had with his unwed teenaged mother. When his wife left him and their newborn daughter in their most vulnerable hour, Phil pledged to give his baby everything. His parents have reunited and are working hard to create a supportive extended family, but rainbow pancakes and princess murals can’t heal the dark void left in Phil’s heart which he won’t even admit is there. Mallory O’Connell leaves her dream job in a big city to return home to help her fiercely independent mother recover from tragedy. After forming a unique bond with Jessica—and a friendship with Jessica’s hot father—Mallory finds that in coming back to Stonehill she might just have found a way to make all of her dreams come true. But as their families push Phil and Mallory together, old insecurities and Phil’s worst fears threaten to break up the happy trio and catch Jessica in the emotional crossfire.

The Breaking Point

By: Marci Bolden

For most of her life, Taylor O’Shea preferred being a loner. After her mother was incarcerated when Taylor was seven, she grew up hard—thanks in part to her construction-worker grandfather who made her tough as nails. Finally, in Chammont Point, Taylor, for the first time, finds friends who love her for her rough edges, not in spite of them. With her best friends in tow, she heads to Arizona to face the woman whose bad choices shaped the very woman Taylor has become. But the family reunion brings disappointment and even more surprises, leaving Taylor with more questions than answers. Now that Taylor’s discovered she has a half-brother, Lonnie, she sets out to find him. Helping him rebuild a life worth living becomes a mission that may save not just Lonnie but Taylor herself. Sometimes, however, helping family can push you to the breaking point.

Burning Hearts

By: Marci Bolden

After a spycam is discovered in a secure community, the homeowners association hires HEARTS to track down the culprit. Investigator Eva Thompson fits the description of every victim so far and volunteers to move into a vacant condo to draw out the suspect from within. But until they know what’s behind the peeping, no one feels safe sending Eva as a decoy alone. Joshua Simmons is Eva’s ex and the one man she can’t quite escape. As the county medical examiner, he frequently consults with HEARTS and cases—and uses that connection to keep close to the woman he’s still not over. When Eva needs a fake husband to work alongside her as a decoy, Josh agrees on one condition: that Eva won’t do anything to put herself in harm’s way. Living together stirs up old feelings and old passions. And while Eva and Joshua try to sort out their demons, a voyeur is on the loose and getting braver by the day.

Rene Schwartz ended a twelve-year career as a federal agent working Witness Protection when a subordinate went rogue and lost her life. Rene left the job she loved to manage her guilt and regret. Working as a private investigator with HEARTS has given her a chance to use her skills—but not to heal her heart. Quinn Stanton found his ex-wife murdered in her home. While he was cleared of any involvement, he and his six-year-old son Danny definitely aren’t safe. After a series of suspicious break-ins at his house, Quinn decides he needs the one thing the police—including his twin brother—can’t provide: protection. With Quinn and his son in a safehouse, the HEARTS team tries to unravel the mystery of who killed Eliza Stanton—and who could possibly want Quinn and Danny dead. But as secrets come to light and passions ignite, protecting each other may be the one promise Quinn and Rene can’t keep.
