But as things get worse for Tessa, things start to heat up between Tessa and Mason. And Mason finds himself wanting to keep Tessa close to his side for always.

Note from author: "Going Home is a standalone title approximately 77,000 words. Tessa and Mason have a lot to overcome if they are to make their relationship work. These two people, though from the same town, are very different, but that's what I love about their relationship. I hope you enjoy reading their story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Please note the story contains adult sexual situations, but does not contain language that I personally consider vulgar. I hope you enjoy.” – Elizabeth Castle.
