Now to Forever by Ashley Manley | Signed Copy + Goodies

Can a past plagued by loss lead to a second chance at happiness?

Scotty Armstrong has spent the last twenty years running the town crematorium and keeping everyone and everything at arm’s length. She lives life just the way she likes it, alone and unattached. All that changes when her late brother’s best friend—and former love of her life—Ford Callahan, comes back into town and starts dredging up unwanted feelings she thought were ancient history.

After being left a house potentially worth a small fortune, Scotty decides it’s the break she’s been waiting for. She’ll renovate it, sell it, and move as far away from Ledger, North Carolina as she can get, leaving her past and the people in it behind her once and for all.

But escaping the town proves to be harder than she’d hoped. When a disgruntled teen shows up on her steps, her best friend asks for a Thanksgiving favor, and Ford seems unable to take a hint, Scotty is forced to face all the feelings she hasn’t for two decades.

After new details of the past and present are brought to light, Scotty must decide if her happiness lies in a faraway town filled with strangers or with the people who know her best in the place she can’t seem to escape.
