Find Wonder in All Things Karen M Cox

"There could have never been two hearts so open... Now they were as strangers"
--Persuasion

Mountain Laurel Elliot is like her name--she blooms best in the cool comfort of shade, hidden in the Kentucky foothills of Appalachia. Alone on her mountain, she lives a private existence with only her pottery--and her regrets--for company.
James Marshall had a secret dream and Laurel was part of it, but dreams sometimes lead to unexpected places. James's heart broke when Laurel cut him loose, but he moved on--and became successful beyond his wildest dreams.
For one glorious summer, James and Laurel had an intense, whirlwind romance, but life has kept them far apart and out of sync.

When their paths cross eight years later, it appears both have moved on with their lives. Could a spark of first love from the past ignite a second chance for romance in the present? Will their timing ever be right for a happy ever after?


A modern romance, inspired by Jane Austen's classic novel, Persuasion, Find Wonder in All Things is the second novel from award-winning author, Karen M Cox
