In this emotional and sexy New Adult debut from Brighton Walsh, the only thing more frightening than commitment is hope…... Aspiring chef Cade Maxwell is immediately, viscerally attracted to Winter Jacobson. But it’s not her mouthwatering curves he’s drawn to—it’s the strange emptiness in her eyes. When Cade saves her from a drunken customer with grabby hands, he’s shocked at her response…... Winter doesn’t need Cade’s help. After a lifetime of getting by on her own, she’s happy to rely on herself. She’s exactly seventy-six days away from graduating college, and if she can hold it together that long, she’ll finally be able to rise above the crappy hand she was dealt. But now, every time she turns around, Cade is there, ready to push her, smile at her, distract her from her plans. Winter knows she can’t afford to open up—especially to a man she’s terrified to actually want….

In this grippingly emotional New Adult novel from the author of Caged in Winter, what you want isn’t always what you need… Jason’s been living (and loving) the rich playboy lifestyle for five years, but now his parents are pressuring him to get involved in the family business. The last thing he wants is another obligation, but when his best friend moves out of state and asks Jason to look after his sister, he can’t just say no. Tessa had to grow up way too soon. After dealing with the aftermath of her parents’ deaths, then becoming a teenage mom, she knows the meaning of responsibility. Which is why, at twenty-two, she’s looking for so much more than a party boy. She’s looking for someone who can stand by her and her daughter…forever. A relationship between them is doomed from the start, but who says they can’t have a little fun? But as Jason gets closer to Tessa—and her daughter—fun starts to turn into something else… Something Jason’s not sure he’s ready for.

She wanted a one-night stand…and then he moved in next door. Paige It was only supposed to be a single night. Nothing more than an easy, completely hot, mind blowing evening with my best friend’s surrogate brother. Except my once-safe one-night stand no longer lives a thousand miles away. Adam’s back in town…and living directly across the hall. Relegating our crazy chemistry to a single night was a lot easier when he wasn’t my neighbor. When he didn’t strut around the apartment building every day, taunting me with his should-be-illegal body. And being with him again isn’t a possibility. Because Adam wants forever, and all I’m interested in is right now. Adam Having Paige once wasn’t enough. Hell, having her five times that night wasn’t enough, either. It only made me hungrier for her. She doesn’t want more than a quick lay, but I’m in it for the long haul with her. So I’ll play by her rules and be her friend, while giving her what she needs when she needs it. But I’m not above using every tool in my arsenal to make her come around and show her what she really wants is right in front of her.

Despite everything she thought she knew, Winter fell in love, and she fell hard. Living with the security of Cade’s unconditional devotion for the past two years has been a welcome reprieve from the decades of loneliness that came before him. So when he pops the question, she says yes. Of course she does. But two years isn’t long in the grand scheme of things, and certainly not enough time to erase the memories of the past. Sometimes, even the greatest love can’t silence fears. Our Love Unhinged is the final novella in the Reluctant Hearts series, and is best enjoyed after reading books 1-3 in the series.
