Entrusted: Surrendering the Present (Surrendering Time)

"You need to go home, city-girl. You don't belong."Jenna Anderson, sassy city-girl from Youngstown, Ohio, plows-literally-into Adirondack village, Speculator Falls, with a busted GPS and a determination to fit in as the newest resident. She wants to live a life without regret and make a difference. Moving to become the senior center director is the biggest risk she's ever taken, and she believes her ideas are worth investing in. The senior citizens have been hurt by the last director, so Jenna has to work hard to earn their trust. When they embrace her, she thinks it's time to show the seniors she intends to stay and make the center beautiful for them.Town councilman and grocer Ben Regan is as broken as the flower box Jenna demolished. He's grieving from the double loss of his grandfather's passing and his former girlfriend leaving town without saying goodbye. His grief is so strong he wants to shut down the senior center before there's too much change and heartbreak. Re opening the senior center and hiring a new director was never his plan. Jenna isn't a Speculator Falls local and she has too many plans that will cost money the village doesn't have. She's too excited about his dream to expand the store his grandfather built. The harder he tries to keep Jenna at a distance, the more they are thrown together to work on community projects. They build a slow relationship, but the council needs to vote on the senior center's future. Can Jenna show Ben both her and the center are worth trusting?
