Charlotte by Kimberly Rae Jordan

Charlotte Halverson’s dream had once been to fall in love, get married and have a family.

But trusting the wrong person has left her a single mother. Now, Charlotte is content to raise her daughter and pursue her career as an elementary school teacher.
Unfortunately, the past comes knocking, bringing with it more baggage than Charli wants to unpack.
Blake Madden could have been a wealthy man had he just followed the path set out for him.

It’s been twelve years since Blake last spoke to his family, so when he has to leave the military to care for his young daughter full-time after the death of her mother, rather than going home, he goes to where he last felt a real sense of joy and support: Serenity Point.
