Stella Hames has always been alone. Her mom neglected her, and her dad left them both, which means loneliness was her only companion. When she meets Wyatt Huntley, she sees the same isolation within him and sets out to be his friend. But he broke her heart, leaving a stain on her young soul. Stella left Orchard Valley soon after and didn’t return for fifteen years. Wyatt Huntley grew up with a drunk father who believed in abuse instead of affection, an indifferent mother, and the toxic love they called a relationship. Because of this, he knew he never wanted any connection with a woman, but when the sweet girl he rejected walks back into his life everything changes. At that moment, he swears he’ll do everything in his power to make up for the past, no matter how much she hates him. That’s when he realizes though the road to redemption may be long, Stella is worth every step. Warning: Sweet, sexy and safe read! Happily ever after guaranteed!
