BREAK: A Steamy Romantic Suspense
Not yet published
Expected 1 Dec 26She came home to hide. He came to start over. Neither of them planned to stay.
Chloe Kelly drove back into Whisper Cove in the dead of night with one eye swollen shut and a wedding dress she'll never wear stuffed in the bottom of her bag. Now the man who put that bruise on her face is out of prison and living twenty minutes up Route 9. She locks every door. She works the front desk at the vet clinic. And she's done with men who make promises.
Gabe Patterson sold his firm, walked away from his father's empire, and bought a crumbling Victorian in the smallest town he could find. The first thing he did was rescue a big, dumb puppy from the Bangor pound on its last day. Then a phone call in the vet clinic lobby shattered his whole world, and the woman behind the desk was the only one who saw him break.
A terrible storm, a dog who eats everything, and a creek that should never have been crossed bring them closer than either one ever meant to get. But Gabe's father left behind a fortune full of secrets. The Cutters want every last piece of it. And Jessica Cutter will do anything to get it, including taking Gabe.
When the truth reaches Gabe in the middle of the night, he has a choice to make. He can stay and tell her everything, or leave to protect the only home she has left.
By the time Chloe learns what she's carrying, Gabe is already gone.
BREAK is the steamy, heart-pounding prequel to the Whisper Cove series, where one small town on the coast of Maine keeps its secrets close and fights for its own.
Start here, then don't miss RUN, HIDE, BURN, FIGHT, BLAZE, and DEFY, where Gabe comes home.
