Story blurbs:
In the Echo of this Ghost Town
In Griffin Nichol’s version of manhood, he figures he’s been abandoned in a ghost town, so he needs to stash his feelings, packing them away among the ruins like dusty remnants. His job is to keep solitary watch, keep trudging through the dust, and keep protecting his jailed heart. Then he meets Max Wallace, and she challenges everything he’s ever believed about what it means to be a man, flinging the jail door wide open, but is Griffin ready to face those feelings when they are too heavy to carry alone and he thinks it his job to do so?
When the Echo Answers
Maxwell Wallace has spent most of her vagabond life moving from fixer-upper to fixer-upper with her dad, and though she loves her dad, she’s ready to move onto the next thing—college—to find her own version of home. Given that her whole life has been transient and temporary, when she meets Griffin Nichols, she figures it will be another relationship that shifts like the tumbleweeds on a breeze, here one moment and then gone the next. Except, even as she leaves for college and the next phase of her life, she can’t shake her feelings for Griffin. Max begins to question everything she believes about herself as someone who stays, and what it means to truly have a home to return to.
