Bernadette came to Freeport to start over, not fall in love.
With her son finally back in her arms and a divorce from her husband still unfinished, she is determined to build a quiet life where Cal can’t find her. A nursing job at the refinery gives her stability. Distance gives her peace.
Then she meets Ray.
He is steady, patient, and everything she did not know she needed. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore what is growing between them. For the first time in years, Bernadette begins to imagine a life that is more than just surviving.
But her past is not as far behind her as she wants to believe and Ray doesn’t know the truth.
Now she must decide if protecting her heart is worth losing the one thing she never expected to find again.
Picking up where book 1 left us hanging, all I can say is wow. What an emotional ride as we continue with Bernie. So well written that you feel like you are there seeing it all. I was at least prepared for the cliffhanger in this book and it leaves you desperate to find out how it all wraps up.
