Where the River Carries Us 6
(2026)(The sixth book in the Riverbend Retreat series)
A novel by Nina Beckett
They came to Riverbend carrying different pieces of the past. Now the final truth may finally set them free to choose their future.
Courtney Hines arrived at Riverbend searching for answers about the father she never knew.
Jadon Cleveland stayed because it was the only home he had left after losing his wife.
Neither expected the retreat to bring them together.
Now, after everything they've uncovered, Riverbend is more than an inheritance.
It's home.
The lodge is alive again. The community that gathered around them has become family. And the quiet connection between Courtney and Jadon has grown into a love neither needs to question anymore.
But one final piece of the past remains.
Mason Dane still has a claim against Riverbend.
The truth about Sarah's final investigation has never been fully uncovered.
And before Courtney and Jadon can truly begin the future they've fought so hard to protect, they'll have to follow the last trail left behind by the people who came before them.
This time, it leads back to Jadon's old clinic.
To records that were never meant to survive.
And to a message Sarah left behind years ago.
Follow the land, not the money.
What Courtney and Jadon discover will finally reveal why Riverbend mattered so much—and why so many people spent decades trying to control it.
But the greatest answer waiting for them isn't hidden in a file, a courtroom, or beside the river.
It's in the life they've built while searching for the truth.
A community.
A home.
And someone willing to stay.
Because sometimes healing isn't about leaving the past behind. It's about making room beside it for everything that comes next.
Return to Riverbend Retreat for the emotional conclusion to Courtney and Jadon's journey—a clean, wholesome later-in-life romance filled with second chances, found family, small-town community, emotional healing, gentle suspense, and the payoff six books have been building toward.
One river. Six books. A lifetime of secrets. And one final journey home.
Where the River Carries Us* is the sixth and final book in the Riverbend Retreat series and is best enjoyed in order.
