Publisher Description

*100,000+ words*

Pain punished her.

The bottle numbed her.

Guilt kept her trapped.

In the dark alley of a pub, the words "Please don't" take hold of her heart and break the silence she seeks. Thinking herself beyond redemption, she tentatively grabs on to the slim thread of hope that unfolds inside of her. 

Holding her secrets close, she can't resist the comforting draw coming from The Skipper. The unconditional friendships it offers, the protective roof it provides, and the spark that its owner ignites in her—melting the frost off her heart, and slowly stripping away her resistance.

His life flows from one crisis to the next. Under the pressure of competition crowding him out of his family's pub and the need to protect his children from the ruins of a bad marriage, he barely breathes. That is until a mane of strawberry-blonde hair and a set of big, pale blue eyes, shake him up.

He never expected the shadow of a woman he finds on the floor of his washroom to bring him the air―the balance and the light he's been missing.

Tiggy/Cookie ,

From Dust

I had never read this author before and really not sure if I will again. The storyline was sad but finally uplifting. The authors writing was a little to gritty for me. The language , liberal use of the F word, and way too much descriptive sex was a turn off instead of a turn on. I feel way too many authors have decided explicit sex and crude language is a selling point, and maybe it is. But not for me.

Writes a good book about a woman down on her luck. You will get a HEA but there is mention of homelessness, rape and lost of life. PD

Excellent story except for the continuous sex scenes…not necessary.
