Autumn's Serenade
(2023)(The third book in the Autumn Hearts in Apple Blossom Flats series)
A novel by Dora Hiers
Will autumn's serenade and his niece's unexpected arrival usher in a season of peace or craziness?
Luke Erickson has no idea what to do with girls. Except Tinsley, although the handywoman isn't really girly. But his fifteen-year-old niece just showed up on his doorstep, and he couldn't possibly turn her away. Running the pub keeps him plenty busy, and the mayor just appointed Luke as hospitality chair for the town's first Autumn Festival, so his plate is overflowing. Surely his best friend Tinsley will take pity on him and help a guy out, right? Otherwise, his life just took a turn toward crazy.
What's Luke thinking? The man doesn't have a clue about girls, so how does he expect to raise his niece? He can't even see that Tinsley's a woman underneath her work overalls. Tinsley Newhouse agrees to help her friend--because that's what best friends do--but spending time with him and his niece only makes her long for Luke to see the real Tinsley, the friend who's loved him forever. The woman who sees them raising Lark together along with growing their own little family.
Will autumn's serenade and his niece's unexpected arrival usher in a season of peace or craziness? When his sister's secret unravels, will Luke choose to protect his sister or will truth prevail? As life shifts, including his friendship with Tinsley, Luke must lean into his faith and embrace love or lose everyone that matters to him…
