Guest Post (and a Giveaway!): Liz Johnson & The Last Way Home

It’s always such a treat to chat with Liz Johnson and she’s on the blog today to talk about her new contemporary romance The Last Way Home – and what her main characters’ very different shopping lists would like!

THE LAST WAY HOME by Liz Johnson
SERIES: Prince Edward Island Shores #2
GENRE: Inspirational Contemporary Romance
PUBLISHER: Revell
RELEASE DATE: August 2, 2022
PAGES: 346

When Eli Ross left Prince Edward Island to join the NHL, he left a broken family behind. More than a decade later, he’s broke and headed home to an uncertain welcome. He wants to make things right with the family he wronged, but his mom’s business partner isn’t making it easy. To top it off, the coaching job he’s accepted turns out to be far more difficult than he anticipated.

For years, Violet Donaghy has put everything she had into making Eli’s mom’s ceramics shop a success, and she’s not eager to forgive the man who hurt the family that’s taken her in as one of their own. But when the kiln at the shop starts a fire that nearly destroys the studio, she’ll need all the help she can get to save the business and their summer income.

Can these two strong-willed people come together to mend the broken pieces of the Ross family? Or will the ghosts of the past continue to haunt them?

Return to Prince Edward Island for a romantic story of family, forgiveness, and the power of love.

Eli Ross, a disgraced NHL star, and Violet Donaghy, his mom’s business partner in a pottery studio, don’t seem to have much in common. And their shopping lists couldn’t be any more different. But maybe if they work together, they can check off all the items and find something neither of them are in the market for—love.

Eli’s shopping list:

1. Lucky Charms – Really, any sugary cereal is a treat for a man who’s just been freed from the protein-rich, sugar-free diet of a professional athlete.
2. A job – Any job, really. Anyone got one for sale?
3. Clothes that actually fit him – He’s thankful that his brothers are willing to share their hand-me-downs with him, but he wouldn’t mind a t-shirt that doesn’t pull so tight across his shoulders. But first, he has to find the aforementioned job. If only he hadn’t had to sell everything he owned.
4. New skates – At least his old high school pair still fit, and he always feels at home on the ice.
5. King-size bed – After a few months of his feet hanging off the end of his mom’s couch, he’ll give just about anything for a full night’s sleep on a real bed.

Violet Donaghy’s shopping list:

1. A kiln – One to replace the one nearly burned down her pottery studio. Preferably one that doesn’t start electrical fires.
2. Cleaning supplies – Anything to get the smoke out of her apartment and maybe scrub away some painful memories with it.
3. Melatonin and chamomile tea – Sometimes she can’t push the memories far enough away to fall asleep, so her nighttime tea and supplement habit help her snatch at least a little rest.
4. Blueberry pancakes – After a visit to the Red Door Inn, and a taste of Caden’s famous breakfast, she’ll pay top dollar for another stack of fluffy deliciousness.
5. A new sidekick – Because she never asked to be partnered up with Eli Ross. But the man won’t go away. And if she’s not careful, she might end up kind-of-sort-of liking him.
