Of all the things on my “to do” list, finding a man wasn’t even listed at the very bottom. I have enough to do searching for a new job and a place to live. Miles away from where I left my shattered heart, I fell into the path of a stranger—twice. Sparks flew—twice. Now I know him as Alex, the uncle and guardian of the quiet little boy in my classroom whose sad smile makes me want to scoop him up and hold him tight. Now Alex wants to do the same to me, if only I’d let him. Finding the courage to open my heart to love a second time isn’t easy. But when it comes to these two, I’ll put it all on the line again…including whatever it takes to keep our pasts from destroying our future together and hurting the little boy we both love.
Author
M.E. Montgomery can’t remember a time she hasn’t had at least one book on the go to read. After years of falling headfirst into the lives and loves of other author’s characters, M.E. decided to write her own. She enjoys creating the kind of realistic storybook friends you wish you could actually meet, and sometimes she finds herself wondering what those characters are up to once she’s delivered their happily ever after. She’s married to her best friend and has four children and two Boxer dogs. They live wherever the Navy sends her husband, usually the East coast of the U.S., but also once in Japan. Whenever she’s not writing or substitute teaching, she often ponders the riddle of how the kitchen sink appears to automatically refill with dirty dishes as soon as her back is turned. On the occasions it stays empty, you can find her with a glass of wine or Scotch outside at their fireplace or curled up inside with a book, binge watching TV, or chatting with readers.
