All this time
(Book)

Sequel to: Keep holding on.

Ten years ago, Bear gave up everything-- his freedom and his reputation-- for his mess of a family. But after years of distance and too many attempts at starting over, he finally has a new life doing noble work in Brazil-- until his past catches up to him once again. Suddenly he finds himself back in Maple Valley, charged with the care of his missing brother's children, convinced he's out of second chances to make his life count. And yet, with every day that passes, these kids, this quirky town and the woman he never stopped missing help patch the holes in his heart. Maybe this is the fresh start he's been longing for all along. But as his newfound hope grows, so does the mystery surrounding his brother's activities-- and when the threat reaches into the lives of those he loves, it's clear he can't run away this time.
