Lea Lamb and Austin Wolf were young when they fell
in love. They never imagined the future could hold anything other than
together-forever.
When Lea’s father dies in a tragic fishing accident,
she's crushed under the weight of her grief and catches a glimpse of another
type of future, one she knows she's not strong enough to face.
Austin is angry. For the past fifteen years, he's
believed the woman he loved with every ounce of his soul left him without so
much as a backwards glance.
When Lea unexpectedly returns to their hometown, all
the years of heartache inside Austin bubbles to the surface and presents itself
as blinding rage.
Faced with the truth about the past, a newly
discovered secret, these former lovers will learn that if they want to have any
chance at the future they’d given up on all those years ago, they will have to
rescue one another from drowning in pain so debilitating it will leave them
both fighting to breathe.
Excerpt
“CAN WE STOP by the liquor store on the
way to dinner?” Mom asks from the passenger seat of my car.
“Should you be drinking?” I
frown then turn onto the main road—well, really the only road in town.
“What’s it going to do,
kill me?” she jokes, making me inhale a sharp breath. “Honey,” she says
quietly, and I look at her briefly, wondering how the hell she can be so casual
about this. “I’m dying. When it will happen, only the good Lord knows, but it
is happening, and there is nothing you or I can do about it. I have made my
peace with it, and I want you to do the same.” She reaches over to pat my
thigh.
“Make peace with it?” I
repeat, shaking my head in disbelief.
“Yes, make peace with it.
If you think about it, I’m lucky. I know I’m going to die. I know that sooner
rather than later God is going to come take me home, and when he does, I will
be ready. I will have had a chance to say goodbye to the people I care about
and right any wrongs I've caused. I’m lucky, honey.”
“What about me?” I wring my
hands on the steering wheel, feeling my chest get tight as I fight back tears.
“I love you, honey. I loved
you before you were even a sparkle in my eye, and I will always be with you. I
know this isn’t easy for you. I know there are going to be a lot of tears shed,
but we’re lucky, honey.”
I press my lips together to
keep from saying something I might regret. I’m not lucky; in fact, I’m unlucky
to the tenth power. How many people have I lost, how many people do I have to
loose before it’s enough.
“Oh look! Sheryl!” She
yells, pulling me from my thoughts as she reaches over, pressing the horn on my
steering wheel while her other hand shoots across me so she can wave out my
window. Looking to where she’s waving my heart begins to beat wildly
against my ribcage when I
see not Sheryl, but Austin walking into one of the many bars that litter Main
Street, only it’s not just Austin—it’s him and a woman with her arm wrapped
around the back of his waist as he holds the door open for her.
Even from the distance
separating us, my lungs compress at the beauty that is him. The years have been good to him. His hair is still shaggy, only
now a little lighter; his face is tan and covered in a beard that makes his
crystal blue eyes stand out even more. My eyes travel from his face to his
torso, which is covered in a dark green thermal that shows off the muscles of
his arms, chest, and tapered waist, then down to his denim-covered thighs. When
my gaze sweeps back up, his eyes are on me, and I see them crinkle in confusion
then realization that soon turns into anger.
“You missed the liquor
store,” my mom complains as I speed up.
Loved this love story, it was
full of heartbreaking moments that I could relate to in real life.
This story begins with Lea
Lamb returning home to take care of her mother, who is dying of cancer. She left home after her father's death at sea
and left her true love, Austin Wolf.
This story takes places in Alaska Austin
Coming home opens the wounds
for both of them and they must deal with the past and the future. Austin
Lea's mother is also holding
a secret that changed the course of Lea's and Austin Austin
Now friends, however the love
they feel for each other is too strong to remain just friends. Is the past forgotten or will it haunt both
of them until something happens to change it?
I was on an emotional
rollercoaster with this story, one moment crying, next moment happy. Aurora
I would highly recommend this
book to anyone who loves a passionate love story with a HEA .
I received a complimentary
copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
