Forgiving Me, Finding You (Basalm River Series 3) - Athena Barnim

"If forgiveness led me to you; then I would gladly hate myself all over again just to forgive and find you at the end of it all."
‘Happy go lucky, always there for you’ Noah Ryan, isn’t feeling the happy or the lucky part of his reputation.

He can’t seem to let go of the role he had in a tragedy that rocked his family and friends. Add to that, getting dumped and volunteering for the role of emergency guardian to local sixteen-year-old Charlie, and Noah is in over his head.

Just when he thinks it couldn’t get any more complicated, his best friend’s younger sister moves in next door. Her contempt for him and his so-called delinquent teenager should have him running in the other direction. Instead, he’s intrigued and maybe a little tempted by her passion for putting him in his place.

When Kristin moved back to Balsam River, after a tragic fire devastated her brother’s farm, she figured she’d enjoy being closer to her brother and a quiet place to figure out what she wants from her future. Until her rental falls through, and she’s forced to live next door to her brother’s, tall, annoyingly handsome best friend, who she happens to hate. Noah is the local golden boy that everyone looks up to. Except when it was her brother in need, he was nowhere to be found. On top of that, he’s now taken in the kid responsible for the fire at her brother’s farm.

She never thought she could forgive Noah and Charlie for risking her brother’s life in that fire, but the more time she spends with them, the less she’s sure about that. Between a moody teenager, runaway cows and her new neighbour, her plans for a quiet life in Balsam River seem to be changing beyond her control.
But she may find something she didn’t even know she was looking for.
