Rose Mahaffey needed a fresh start. Too bad she had to flee for her life to find it. Calder Owens didn’t need anything upsetting his routine, but when a woman found in a storm is brought to his doorstep, he didn’t have a lot of choice. Rose and Calder’s lives collide in Redemption Bluff. A place of safety for society’s unwanted – the outlaw, the shellshocked, the abandoned, the sinful, the dregs. People came there because there was nowhere else they could go, to start a new life, sometimes even with a new name, and leave their sordid or painful pasts behind. Will Rose and Calder be able to do the same? Or will their pasts catch up with them first?
