First Chapter

Lucas Avila discovered his birth certificate in his grandmother's underwear drawer.  A newly minted Dallas attorney, he'd come home to Trinity Springs at his aunt's behest to ready the house for sale.

"Yep.  Things have sure changed since my heyday.  I always say, 'People should spend less time on the wedding and more time on the marriage.' But then I'm an old bachelor so what do I know?" he said with a twinkle in his eye.

Synopsis from Amazon:

Abandoned by his mother on his third birthday, Lucas Avila now leads a fulfilling life as a Dallas attorney, but the death of his grandmother brings him back to his hometown of Trinity Springs. A yellowed document, found among his grandmother's possessions, takes him on an unforeseen journey of discovery and growth.

Music teacher Maria Vargas recently moved back into her own childhood home in Trinity Springs, across the street from the Avilas, where she and Lucas had played together until her family moved away when they were both seven. She never forgot her neighborhood friend, though, and when she sees him after twenty years, she's once again smitten.

Everett Bennington, veteran of the Gulf War and son of a wealthy Dallas businessman, has chosen to live on the streets for almost twenty-five years. When he meets Lucas and Maria, he faces a decision that could alter his life in a most unexpected way.
