Veterinarian Dr. Garrett James returns home to the small town of Owens Valley, Missouri to leave behind the life he no longer wanted. His struggles to find his footing are complicated by a woman who refuses to let go of him and his interest in the quiet, sweet artist that moves in next door.

When the school where she's taught for the last five years closes, Erin McCoy loads up her things and makes the move from the big town of Dallas to the small town of Owens Valley, Missouri to be close to her best friend. When Garrett shows up at her new place with Sadie’s husband to help unload her things, she’s flustered at the attraction she feels when he smiles down at her.

She doesn't trust his flattery, or his freely given sexy smiles, and she isn't sure he even shares her faith. Still, her heart races when he's near and she laughs at his jokes even when she doesn't want to. He's handsome and successful, why would he want her?

Can Garrett find his way back to the steady, strong faith of his youth, forgive himself for his failings and convince Erin that his motives are true? And if he does, will his past stay in the past or will it shatter the love he and Erin find? Enjoy Garrett and Erin's story with this fourth book in the Houses of Hope series, Walk With Me.
