Welcome back to VIRGIN RIVER with the books that started it all.

Sometimes love takes root in unexpected places--if youll only let it grow Colin Riordan came to Virgin River to recuperate from a horrific helicopter crash, the scars of which he bears inside and out.

Both are looking to simplify, not complicate, their lives, but when Jillian finds Colin at his easel in her yard, theres an instant connection.

And in Virgin River, sometimes love is the simplest choice of all.
