It’s never too late to finish a love story…
Cole Barrett, former Army Ranger, has a new mission objective. Sell his grandfather’s house and put Deep Haven, a place that holds too many hurts, in his rearview mirror as fast as possible. Recently divorced, single, and unattached, Cole just wants a new life as a US Marshal. One where he can forget the past and start new.
Unfortunately, there’s a tenant in the garage apartment who’s refusing to move. Even worse? It’s his childhood crush, Megan Carter, and her son.
Wedding planner and single mom Megan Carter loves Deep Haven. To her, it’s the place where she makes dreams come true—at least, everyone else’s. Her big dream is to purchase the Black Spruce Bed & Breakfast to turn it into a premier event venue and, if she can stay booked for enough weddings over winter, she’ll have the needed funds to buy the inn, move out of Grandpa Barrett’s garage apartment, and finally give her nine-year-old son, Josh, the life he deserves. She just needs four thousand dollars in the next thirty days.
Still, she’s oh, so close…until Cole Barrett returns to Deep Haven. Even if he’s not back to fulfill a silly childhood promise to marry her, but she never expected him to evict her! The last thing she needs is more expenses. Or for another man to walk into her heart…and break it.
When a blizzard strikes Deep Haven, and Megan is overrun with wedding catastrophes, it takes a former Ranger to step in and help. Besides, the more he comes to her rescue, the sooner she’ll be able to move out…and he can move on. And that’s what they both want, right?
Return to Deep Haven with this magical tale about the one who got away…and came back.

My Review ❤️
Coming home. It's a heartwarming vision in and of itself, but when you pair it with reconnecting with a childhood friend that has held a special place in your heart for years, it gives your heart all the feels.
Still the One is the story of Cole Barrett coming back to Deep Haven, his childhood home, with an agenda: get his grandfather's house sold as soon as possible so that he can begin a new life with a new job as a Deputy US Marshall in DC. What he didn't bargain for was running into his childhood friend, Megan Carter.
From the moment Cole and Megan meet again you can feel the attraction between these two. Megan's character is completely relatable, being a single mom running a wedding planning business, and trying to hold everything together for her and her son, Josh. The character flaws in both Cole and Megan are true to life and poetically beautiful.
My favorite moments of the story were seeing Cole, Megan, and Josh interacting as a family. I loved the small town feel and the concept of friends falling in love has always been one of my favorite troupes.
Still the One is a cozy, small town Christian romance that envelops you, making you feel like you're there witnessing the events of Deep Haven for yourself. It is well written and I seemed to devour it quite quickly.
This is my first time reading anything from the Deep Haven collection, but I must admit I am hooked, and plan on reading more from this incredibly sweet, yet down-to-earth series.
