Publisher Description
Can love heal old wounds?
Former pop star Mia Grant still bears emotional scars from the stalker who terrorized her for years before attacking her. Determined to reclaim her independence—and her life—she checks into River's Sigh B & B to face what she hopes is the final step in her recovery. One thing is certain: she'll never let anyone get close enough to betray or injure her again.
Gray Robertson's physical scars are nothing compared to the wounds he carries inside. A loner by nature, the brutal murder of his young wife and son made him a hermit. He lives off-grid in the wilderness of northern Canada with only his dog for company, finding isolation far easier to survive than loving people and having them torn away.
When his closest neighbor, Jo at River's Sigh B & B, ropes him into giving self-defense lessons to some washed-up musician, Gray figures it's a safe way to make a bit of cash to see him through winter.
As Mia and Gray get to know each other, the walls they've spent years building begin to crumble—but neither is prepared for the conflicting emotions that leave them reeling. Desire is easy. Trust? That's another matter entirely.
Then a foolish decision puts Mia's life in peril and forces Mia and Gray to answer questions they're both scared to face. Can they love again, or are they too damaged to risk further hurt?
Customer Reviews
Mesmerizing and engaging!
I absolutely loved this book because these characters wrapped themselves around my heart with overwhelming empathy for them and because I could personally identify with their fears and insecurities. As someone who suffers from panic attacks, I can attest to this authors perfect portrayal of the bone chilling fear that stops you in your tracks, quickens your breath and makes you want to hide away from everyone and everything. Grey and Mia might be awkward around each other, but they both recognize the crippling insecurity and vulnerability each of them feels and their common ground unites them in a way that helps them take steps which will heal them both. This is a heart warming study of the human heart that is both mesmerizing and engaging with a positive message that will resonate with everyone who reads it. I read an early copy of this book and all opinions expressed in my voluntary review are completely my own.
Anxiety - Loss - LOVE
Wow! Such a good powerful story dealing with heavy topics yet still making the book fun and romantic. Gray and Mia are too shattered souls trying to navigate the world after violence and loss in both their lives. While you think one has it more together than the other you soon realize they both need each other to love and heal. What a great book and story! I loved it and I know a lot of people can probably relate to what these two are going through. A little heavier topic than the rest of the series but fits perfectly and is a good fast read.
