A lifetime. How had the boy who pulled pranks become a man who talked about lifetimes?
Sent south for the summer, eighteen-year-old Iris Willow expects the next three months to be the worst. After all, there can't be anything interesting about eight brothers raised on a small-town farm. Not when she's met more sophisticated boys in the city.
Yet from the start, the second eldest, Lucas McGilley, seems different. He's handsome and funny and kind. He's dedicated to his family and willing to do what's necessary to make up for his past mistakes. Most of all, he says he's in love with her.
Love that, as the summer ends, can't overcome her world of doubts. Or his older brother's hatred. Or the horrible secret held by his mother.
bonus Story: Sam
Samuel McGilley, as the youngest of eight brothers, often finds himself overlooked. He's always made up for that by speaking his mind. But when an afternoon's task for a local widow introduces him to pretty little Anna McIntosh, he finds something he's good at. Listening.
And maybe, with time's passing, something far more priceless. Love.
