Be brave. Just for sixty seconds. Twenty breaths.
One night changed them both forever.
Their lives shattered, beyond repair, with jagged edges and pieces askew.
Now, Everly has a chance to make things right. To bring healing to the place where everything fell apart. But it means facing the family her father almost destroyed, and the boy with the dark eyes - now grown - who still haunts her dreams.
Just one breath away from having your life ripped out from under you.
The last thing Hayes wants is another reminder of all the ways he failed 16 years ago. When Everly drives back into Wolf Gap, his only mission is to get her to leave. For his family’s sake, and for his own, those demons need to stay buried for good.
But everything about this woman is a surprise, from her spine of steel to the sanctuary she hopes to create with the land her mother left behind. And Hayes is powerless to stay away.
As a careful friendship sparks into something more, someone watches. And they’ll do anything to tear it all apart....
Customer Reviews
Grippingly Captivating!
This is the first book in The Tattered and Torn series, a Small Town Romantic Suspense. OMG! This story is well written, and grippingly heart-wrenching. Hayes and Everly are fantastic characters. Everly is such a strong and smart character. Hayes is very handsome, protective, and supportive. Their past is heartbreaking. They are perfect together. The supporting characters are great and intriguing. The characters are well developed, and the plot is well crafted, and captivating. The storyline is emotional, and enthralling, filled with family drama, danger, suspense, romance, and unpredictable twists and turns. I liked the family bond and the friendship in the story, and I can’t wait to know more about Hayes's siblings, and his friend Calder. Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber did an outstanding job on the narration. The audio production is perfect. This is an excellent team author/narrators. If you like Romantic Suspense, this one is for you! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it. Looking forward to listening to Falling Embers, the next book in the series.

"Anyone can be brave for twenty breaths. And in that time, you can do almost anything. Or at least take the first steps you need to get there."
One night changed Everly's life forever. The ghosts of her past are still haunting her when she returns back to the property where everything changed. Hayes, the sheriff, is not thrilled to have Everly back in town and still blames her for what happened years prior. But as they start spending more and more time together, they begin to develop a friendship that has the potential for so much more.
"You showed me that there is more power in facing the ghosts and tearing them down, than pretending they don't exist."
I was drawn into the book right from the very beginning. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole story wanting and waiting to see what was going to happen next. I loved Hayes and Everly together and the build of their relationship. The slow burn was well worth the wait. A great start to the Tattered & Torn series and I can not wait for more in this series.
Zachary Weber and Andi Arndt did an amazing job bringing the characters and story to life. They made you feel as if you were part of the story. I haven't listened to a book with these narrators in a long time and after listening to this book I remember why they are two of my favourite narrators.
Triggers... kidnapping, assault, threats
