Through the Fire

I’ve suffered the loss of two great loves in this lifetime. I thought recovering would be impossible. Years away from home gave me a successful business, yet there was this hole in my heart I could never quite fill. When I returned home, I only wanted to expand my business and make up for the time I’d lost with my family thinking it would be enough. But everything changed the day he walked into my shop with a desperation that pulled at my heartstrings, making me do the one thing I swore I would never do again… feel.

Her expertise was my last hope in healing my daughter’s skin, but what I found was a guarded woman too afraid to even let herself smile. I didn’t even mean to do it… it just kinda happened. I torpedoed my way through every safeguard she’d placed around her heart the same way I dealt with any other threats I’d faced. Now, I’m ensnared in her trap while battling a toxic ex who has neglected my daughter long enough. I want to convince her that loving me is worth the risk, except I stand for everything she’s been avoiding. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to prove to her that no matter what happens I won’t be like them—I will always come through the fire.
