Synopsis:
From the bestselling author of Weightless and A Love Letter to Whiskey
Wren Ballard is trying to find herself.
She
never expected to be divorced at twenty-seven, but now that the court
date has passed, it’s official. The paperwork is final. Her feelings on
it aren’t.
Spending the summer in a small
mountain town outside Seattle is exactly what she needs. The peaceful
scenery is a given, the cat with the croaky meow is a surprise, but the
real kicker? A broody neighbor with nice arms, a strange reputation, and
absolutely no interest in her.
Anderson Black is perfectly fine being lost.
He
doesn’t care about the town’s new resident — he’s too busy fighting his
own demons. But when he’s brought face to face with Wren, he can see
her still-fresh wounds from a mile away. What he doesn’t see coming is
his need to know who put them there — or his desperation to mend them.
Sometimes
getting lost is the way to find yourself. Sometimes healing only adds a
new scar. And sometimes the last place you expected to be is exactly
where you find home.
Excerpt:
I stared at the piles of
bags, debating which to tackle first before slowly loading them onto
each arm one by one. Once I was red-faced and struggling and decided
there was, in fact, no way I’d get them all in one trip, I turned to
make my way inside the cabin. But I stopped short.
There was a man at the end of my driveway.
He
was just standing there, staring at me, a large, rusted toolbox in one
hand and rolled up sheet of paper in the other. Everything about him was
hard — the bend in his brows, the edge of his jaw, the line of scruff
that framed it. And because I was me, of course I noticed what he was
wearing, and it was the first time in a long time that I’d seen someone
who dressed for efficiency, not for style. His jeans were worn, but not
dirty, with plenty of pockets that I could tell were each used in their
own way. He donned a simple, deep red thermal with sleeves pushed up to
his elbows and slight stains that ran down his chest and abdomen, and a
charcoal gray hat sat low over his eyes, shielding them from the sun.
He
was tan, and even from the distance his eyes sparked against the warm
hue of his skin. They were bright — blue, maybe? Or green? I couldn’t be
sure, and I let his potent appearance mesmerize me for just a moment
more before I shifted, hoisting the bags in my right hand up enough for
me to attempt a half wave.
If possible, his brow lowered further, and he simply stalked off, clearing the view of my driveway in seconds.
I frowned.
“Well, hello to you, too.”
Author Info:
Kandi Steiner is a
bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best
known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing
flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all
its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a
lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.
An
alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a
double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in
Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading
the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited
her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the
principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi
tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest
in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard
hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as
well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing,
you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely
vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys
live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie
marathons, craft beer and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.
