Home to Cedar Creek A Cedar Creek Riders Novel Charlotte "Charlie" Bennett has spent her entire life searching for a place to belong. After a childhood spent moving through the foster care system, she's learned not to put down roots and not to depend on anyone but herself. When an unexpected inheritance changes her life overnight, Charlie does the one thing no one expects—she buys a small diner in the mountain town of Cedar Creek, Colorado, and starts over. The Mountain View Diner is supposed to be a fresh start. Nothing more. But Cedar Creek has other plans. Before long, Charlie finds herself surrounded by meddling grandmothers, retired bikers who treat trouble like a hobby, loyal customers who insist on adopting her as one of their own, and a motorcycle club that seems determined to keep watch over the entire town. Especially its president. Reaper Hayes has spent his life protecting Cedar Creek. The former soldier and leader of the Cedar Creek Riders knows everyone in town, and most days, everyone knows him. The last thing he needs is a distraction. Unfortunately, Charlie Bennett walks into his diner every morning looking like one. As winter settles over the mountains, Charlie begins to build something she's never had before—a community, friendships, and the possibility of a future. Then a call from a social worker places a frightened little girl in her care, and suddenly the life she's carefully constructed is no longer just her own. With old wounds healing, new dreams taking root, and danger creeping toward the town from beyond the mountains, Charlie and Reaper will discover that home isn't a place. It's the people who refuse to let you face life alone. In Cedar Creek, family isn't always the one you're born into. Sometimes it's the one that finds you when you need it most.
