Delicate Escape

Brought to you by Penguin.

A swoony small-town romance that will set your heart racing.

Trust doesn’t come easily when you’ve been running for as long as I have, which is why moving in with a man I barely know is such a bad idea.

Shepard Colson is all golden-boy charm and devastating good looks. But I know the dangers of easy smiles and promises—I have the scars to prove it.

Only the handsome contractor won’t stop coming by the bakery and prying little truths from my lips—those amber eyes of his seeing far too much. And when secrets from my past come crashing down, it’s Shep who’s determined to keep me safe. Even if it means moving into my rundown cabin and working his way into my heart.

But a ghost from my old life has unfinished business. And when he finds me, he’ll do anything to tear my life apart.

Including ending it for good. . .
