Return to Virgin River with the books that started it all… 

The recipe for happiness: making it up as you go along 

Rising sous-chef Kelly Matlock's sudden collapse at work is a wake-up call. Disillusioned and burned out, she's retreated to her sister Jillian's house in Virgin River to rest and reevaluate. 

Puttering in Jill's garden and cooking with her heirloom vegetables is wonderful, but Virgin River is a far cry from San Francisco. Kelly's starting to feel a little too unmotivated…until she meets Lief Holbrook. The handsome widower looks more like a lumberjack than a sophisticated screenwriter—a combination Kelly finds irresistible. But less appealing is Lief's rebellious stepdaughter, Courtney. She's the reason they moved from LA, but Courtney's finding plenty of trouble even in Virgin River. 

Kelly's never fallen for a guy with such serious baggage, but some things are worth fighting for. Besides, a bratty teenager can't be any worse than a histrionic chef…right?
Look for What We Find by Robyn Carr, a powerful story of healing, new beginnings and one woman's journey to finding the happiness she's long been missing. Order your copy today!

    Lief didn’t tell Kelly about the promise Courtney had extracted from him. He did tell Courtney that he was planning to continue his friendship with Kelly. He had to repeat that he wasn’t planning to let it interfere with his relationship with Courtney and he wouldn’t be marrying anyone without her approval. At least while she was a young teen, living under his roof.

    Guilt about that promise flared in him when he and Courtney got home late Christmas Eve. He found Kelly asleep on the couch, Spike cradled in her arms, snacks in the kitchen waiting for them, a fire still smoldering in the hearth and lights twinkling on the tree.

    Lief left the suitcases sitting in the hall and asked Courtney to take Spike outside for a bathroom break. He knelt beside Kelly, smoothing her blond hair away from her brow. “Why aren’t you in bed?” he asked her.

    “Hmm,” she said, sleepy. “Oh, I’m fine here. Since I knew you were coming, I put fresh linens on the bed and left out some snacks. I bet you guys are tired.”

    “You want to guess how much I wish I could just take you to bed with me?”

    She smiled dreamily. “As much as I’d like to go?” She sat up. “I’ll go and let you guys get to bed.”

    “You don’t have to go. It’s late, it’s cold. Stay here.”

    “Are you sure?” she asked, lying back down.

    He laughed at her.

    “If you feel like company tomorrow, I thought I’d make glazed ham, cheesy potatoes, some green vegetables, pie….”

    “It’s so much trouble,” he said.

    “I’d be glad to, but I don’t have to. If you’d rather be alone…” she sai

    tart a life.”

    “A lot of doing,” Jack confirmed.

    “I thought the kids were both yours,” she said.

    Preacher shook his head. “Really, I didn’t think I’d ever marry and have kids. It’s a pure miracle.”

    Pah, we want the real thing,” Gram said. “Let me get my file out. If you can read, you can cook. I didn’t know you had an interest in baking.”

    Courtney shrugged. “I really don’t. I just picked up a few things, that’s all. Besides, there’s nothing on TV anyway.”

    “That’s a fact,” she said. “Nothing on that box worth watching day or night. Not unless you like those asinine real-life things.”

    “You mean reality shows?” Courtney asked.

    “Asinine, if you ask me. People shouldn’t be watching other people while they’re just living their lives or trying to solve their problems. And the very idea you choose a husband or a wife on the television! The very idea! What happened to acting? If there isn’t acting in it, I can’t be bothered.”

    Courtney laughed at her.

    “Now, let me see—I think peanut butter and chocolate chip,” Gram said. “Does that work for you?”

    “Works for me. But there’s rolls to do.”

    “We’ll do ’em first. Let’s make another one of them French things.”

    “You got it, Gram,” Courtney said. “I shouldn’t have gotten myself into this. We’re going to be busy all day.”

    “Well, kiddo, that’s the way I like it. Busy all day. Now you tell me when you get hungry and we’ll take a break and eat something.”

    “I’m kind of looking forward to the cookie dough,” she said. “Besides, don’t you and Gramp eat at about four o’clock?”

    “Not quite that early,” she said. “That’s for the old folks. I’d say more like four-thi
