Hope Springs

Will Travers is back in town!

Will Travers left Hope Springs ten years ago, accused of a crime he didn't commit. He tried to make a life for himself and his young wife far, far away. But his wife wanted more, and left him for greener pastures. Now he's raising his son on his own, and he realizes there's no better place to do that than Hope Springs. Even if it means facing Libby Jeffries again. Especially if it means facing Libby Jeffries. She was the only "witness" to his alleged crime.

But Libby is not at all pleased to see him. Particularly when a series of "accidents" beings to occur. But this time Will needs her on his side. She's the only person who can help him make enough sense of the past to allow him to give his son a future. And, ironically, that future now includes Libby.
