A Forever Kind of Love

In Gauthier, love isn’t just found. It’s forever.

Mya Dubois left Gauthier, Louisiana determined never to look back. Broadway gave her the career she dreamed of, but coming home means facing the one thing she cannot design her way around… the man who shattered her heart.

Corey Anderson was once the town’s reckless bad boy, the one everyone warned her about. He chased glory on the baseball field, became a professional, and has since returned to the bayou with scars, wisdom, and unfinished business. Seeing Mya again reignites the kind of passion neither time nor distance could dim.

In a town where family ties run deep and every neighbor has an opinion, Mya and Corey collide in a second chance romance that burns hotter than ever. But forever does not come easy, and this time it will take more than sparks to claim the love they both walked away from once before.

Publisher’s Note: First released in 2012, A Forever Kind of Love introduced readers to the Bayou Dreams series. This re-release brings the novel back in print with a fresh edition for new readers to discover and long-time fans to revisit.

In evoking this special closeness between the divine and the human, the author returns repeatedly to the Penitentes [...]
