Heart's Chord

Even though he already has more to do than there are hours in the day, Finn has no problem adding Austen to his life. The sexy former marine is the only good thing that's happened to Finn in a long time.

For Austen, Finn is the perfect man. If he sees anything lacking in Austen, he never shows it. But falling in love with Finn changes everything for Austen. All the insecurities he's faced since he has come home from deployment confined to a wheelchair come rushing back to the surface. No matter how hard he tries, he can't let Finn in.

When Finn decides he's had enough of not being enough, and his dreams come crashing down around him, he's ready to walk away from everything for good. But he never counted on Austen's reaction to losing him, or how far his Ugly Eternity family will go to make his dreams a reality.
