“ I do it because I love you baby. You are not mean, you are hurting. You are most assuredly not ungrateful for anything. You always show and make Daddy feel loved and appreciated precious girl. I’ll tell you a secret though if you want to know it?”
Rowan’s life had been desolate, spent under the cruel thumb of her uncle and aunt. Eventually she found herself trapped in a loveless marriage to an abusive man. For years, she endured his control and violence, her spirit slowly eroding. After a particularly brutal attack landed her in the hospital, the compassionate Dr. Jason Reid helped her finally break free from her tormentor.
But the scars, both visible and hidden, run deep. Adding to her emotional wounds is the resurfacing of Rory, a Daddy Dom from her past. Their intense connection had been abruptly severed years ago when Rory left to care for his ailing mother, believing Rowan had moved on and married. His return to Northville brings a wave of regret and a shocking finding Rowan beaten and unconscious in a derelict building. He rushes her to Dr. Reid's clinic, the weight of his past departure heavy on his heart.
As Rory dedicates himself to Rowan's healing, their bond reignites. He patiently teaches her about safety and love, helping her navigate the devastating physical and emotional aftermath of her abuse. He cherishes her scarred body, seeing only her strength and resilience.
However, their fragile hope for a future together is shattered when Rowan and Rory are kidnapped by her vengeful ex-husband during a delivery. Trapped once more, Rowan suffers further torment, leaving her broken and questioning if she can ever truly accept Rory's love and the promise of a safe future. Both Rory and Rowan must confront the deep wounds of their past and present. Can Rory guide Rowan back from the brink of despair and convince her that she is worthy of love and safety? Or will the lasting trauma inflicted by her abuser destroy their second chance at happiness?

I am hooked on these books! Rowan's story was more tragic than Charlotte's to me in a way. I loved how the characters have real problems but work through them together. Rory made a mistake so long ago by thinking that Rowan had given up on him. But when he figured it out he did his all to help heal Rowan. I can't wait to read more books by this author! Or find out who else moves to North Haven! I also love that Dr. Reid plays such a huge roll in helping the littles, and that he has such a kind heart! I honestly love these books. And again.. the spicey scenes.. oh my... The length of the stories takes away the anxiety of a good book ending to soon. There's so much to like here! I have to stop myself from writing more before I end up writing my own book with a review
This was another really amazing read! Rowan had been through so much, is still struggling with things and is still so strong. Rory is this big gentle giant who isn't afraid to show his emotions. I love how the MMC so far will go above and beyond to be what the FMC needs, while also still being firm. I love how the characters in these books " heal" each other. Love really can be such a powerful thing. I am also interested in learning more about " The Professor". I find it intriguing to think that souls could be tied together and maybe we all are waiting for our other halfs. And I also want a story about "Teddy and Jason"! And of course let's not forget about the spicy scenes.. :)
