Desperate to gain some control of my spiraling life, I made a reckless decision in the form of a 6’4 grumpy, tattooed man. A man that buys the storefront next door to mine three weeks later. Jake is infuriating, cocky, and burrowing his way under my skin. As tensions fly, so does a connection that surprises and terrifies me - one that might help us both.
The more I see behind his broody persona, the more I feel my restraint slipping. Our growing feelings could heal us both, but how do I keep the pain of my past from holding me back?
Watching my best friend marry the love of his life only reminded me how empty mine feels. Everyone wants something from the quiet guy covered in ink - but no one stays long enough to see what’s underneath.
When Amber storms into my world, all fire and sharp edges, I realize she’s exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Working side by side forces us into each other’s orbit, and despite our differences, I see the pain behind her guarded eyes and the strength holding her together.
I’m falling for her, but how do I make her see she doesn’t have to wander in the dark alone?
