A warm contemporary romance. When Caitlyn McCabe leaves her cheating husband, she has nowhere to call home. But chance, circumstance, and a touch of magic bring her to Summerhill, a small town in western New York. There she meets Ryan Ramsay, a handsome army vet who returned from Iraq with physical and emotional wounds. The connection she feels with him is instant, encouraging her to believe once more in the possibility of love. But while Caitlyn’s fresh start has all the makings of a wonderful new beginning, an unknown enemy starts harassing her, threatening not just her happiness, but her very existence. In many ways, Ryan Ramsay has a full life—his job on the police force gives him meaning and he loves his large, boisterous Scottish-American family. But his experiences in the war left an indelible mark on him, and he believes he will never meet a woman who can accept him, scars and all. With Caitlyn McCabe, he dares to hope otherwise. There’s no pity in her eyes when she looks at him, and her loving heart promises to help heal his own. So when a threat to her life arises, he is desperate to do everything in his power to protect her. Can Caitlyn and Ryan find happiness and healing together in Summerhill, or will the danger looming over Caitlyn destroy them both? This novel is a full-length stand alone novel. No cliffhanger!

Can two wounded souls save each other? Lauren Grant’s memories are split into two categories—before she was raped and after. The trauma of the attack has haunted her for years, making it hard to live a “normal” life. Her favorite coping mechanism is to escape into research books and romance novels about medieval Scotland, the subject of her graduate studies, but she pours every moment of her free time into running a support group for survivors of sexual assault. The work is rewarding, but it’s made her enemies—predators who don’t want their victims to receive help. Still troubled by the car accident that claimed his mother’s life, Nate Patterson has devoted his life to saving people. He finds his work as a firefighter and EMT rewarding, but he feels emotionally distant from the people he saves…until he pulls Lauren Grant out of a burning building. There’s an instant connection between them—one that only grows—but the fire was no accident. Someone’s out to destroy Lauren, and he may be the only one who can help her unmask them. Lauren can tell Nate’s her modern-day Highlander, noble and protective, but the danger she’s in seems impossible to surmount. Can two wounded people defeat the odds and find a real-life happily ever after? Trigger Rape in heroine's past
