The Long Way Home
The Long Way Home
Synopsis
The third book in the Magnolia Parks Universe picks up in the wreckage of Magnolia Parks and BJ Ballentine's latest rupture. The title says it all: the road back to each other is never a straight line for these two, and the long way home takes them through new relationships, old wounds, and the stubborn, complicated love that neither of them can outrun.
As Magnolia and BJ circle one another once more — sometimes cruelly, sometimes tenderly — the wider world of their friends and rivals presses in, forcing questions about growth, forgiveness, and whether loving someone is enough to build a life on.
Jessa Hastings continues her addictive, divisive saga of privilege and passion, deepening the central romance that defines the Magnolia Parks Universe.
