Story Blurb
Five years ago, I nearly lost everything. But there was a glimmer of hope on that darkest night. There was him—a stranger I could never forget.
Now, I’m finally getting the fresh start I’ve longed for. But when I show up to interview for a nanny position in the small mountain town, the single dad has startlingly familiar blue eyes.
Eyes that have haunted my dreams for the past five years.
Lawson Hartley is everything I know I can’t have. Older, handsome, and my boss. Not to mention the shadows in his eyes that tell me he has demons, too.
Still, he seems to understand me better than anyone I’ve ever met. So gentle and careful of my scars, yet somehow making me believe I’m stronger than I ever thought possible.
And when his lips touch mine, I’m lost.
We find what we've been missing in each other. But the terrors of my past aren’t done with me yet, and this time, Lawson might not be able to save me...
My Thoughts/Opinion
Oh, Lawson. The oldest brother. Deep wounds. And three boys in varying states of rebellion. Then there's Hallie and the unspeakable things she endured. Both trying to find their way forward. This is such a beautiful story of learning to trust, and is a true love story that envelops Lawson's boys as well. So sweet, yet the suspense plot kept me completely on my toes. So so good. I'm so glad to have read this entire series. I'll definitely be looking for more from this author.

“But you got to me. That’s what matters. When I had what felt like endless cruelty, you gave me kindness. You gave me blue.”
My gaze locked with hers. “Blue?”
The corners of Hallie’s mouth lifted. “Your eyes. I thought I could drown in all that blue, but it would be okay because there was only goodness there. Safety. Peace.”
Pain struck my chest, jagged and brutal. “I want you to have all of that.”
Her smile widened. “I’m finding it. Because you’re giving it to me all over again.”
