Book 3 in the Grace Valley series. Before there was Virgin River, there was Grace Valley. The trilogy by #1 NYT bestselling author Robyn Carr is the prequel series to Virgin River. Grace Valley is a town in the same area as Virgin River and is referenced frequently in the Virgin River books and in the #1 Netflix series. For those who love Virgin River, the Grace Valley trilogy will be just as appealing. These books were first published in MMP format in 2009 and haven't been reissued in print since. In the peaceful town of Grace Valley, neighbors are like family—and just as meddlesome, too. June Hudson is the town's doctor, a caring, capable woman who now has a bit of explaining to do. People are beginning to notice the bloom in her cheeks—and the swell of her belly. Happily, DEA agent Jim Post is back in June's arms for good, newly retired from undercover work and ready for new beginnings here in Grace Valley. Expecting the unexpected is a way of life in Grace Valley, and the community is overflowing with gossip right now. Who is the secret paramour June's aunt Myrna is hiding? Does the town's poker-playing pastor have too many aces up his sleeve? But when dangers, from man and nature, rise up with a vengeance to threaten June and the town, this community pulls together and shows what it's made of. And Jim discovers the true meaning of happiness here in Grace Valley: there really is no place like home.
