Kathryn
I woke up in a hospital, confused, broken, and holding hands with a man I didn’t know.
Mack Stewart smiled despite his busted nose and broken leg.
He told me we crashed, that my best friend was driving.
But my friend is gone, and so are the last three years of my life.
He offers me a place to stay, too much faith in a woman he doesn’t even know. Now, I’m stuck in Alpenglow Ridge, relying on a cowboy who’s far too kind, far too patient, and far too easy to want.
Something inside me whispers that I don’t deserve any of it.
There’s a weight pressing on my chest, a darkness in my past that I can’t name.
I have a feeling that when I remember, I’ll regret ever letting him get close.

Because my past won’t just break me—It might destroy the one man willing to stand beside me.

Mack
I’ve lost before.
Lost so much that I drowned it in whiskey and swore I’d never get attached again.
But then she showed up—Kathryn Jeann Barker.
She crashed into my life, and suddenly, I have a new purpose and keeping my distance is not an option.
She pushes me away at every turn, convinced she’s nothing but sharp edges and damage. But I see her.
Every stubborn, complicated, beautiful piece. I fall for her in every charged moment, every touch, every time she softens just enough to let me in.
She doesn’t trust herself, but I do.
She doesn’t believe she deserves more, but I know she does.
I don’t need to know her past to believe in her future—our future.

When the truth resurfaces, it might take more than love to keep my plans for us from shattering.
