Can two damaged people find love again?
Or will they let their damage keep them apart?
A novel of love lost, love found… and the truth that could tear it all apart.
Douglas Lendell doesn’t do romance anymore. After his wife abandoned him just four months into their marriage, he buried his heart behind a fortress of work, routine, and resignation. For eight years, he’s convinced himself that love just isn’t in the cards—until he meets Trish.
Vivacious, warm, and impossible to forget, Trish isn’t like anyone Douglas has ever known. She feels like fate, like hope, but she also has a reputation as the town’s “runaway bride,” the woman who left her fiancé at the altar with no explanation.
Trish has a secret—one so heavy, she’s sure no one could love her if they knew. So she runs. And when Douglas gets too close, she runs again. What follows is a series of funny, frustrating, and painfully human missteps as these two damaged hearts try to learn how to trust, to love, and to finally let someone in.
Just when they finally get it right, Trish’s secret comes to light…and it may be more than love can survive.
