Mark your calendars! STRONG ENOUGH releases June 22, 2022! I'm so excited to show off the beautiful cover for STRONG ENOUGH, book four in the Masonville small town romance series. Here it is!
Love can make you stronger, if you let it.
Charlotte Saunders has a full life—a rewarding career as a nurse, meaningful volunteer work at a dog shelter, and family, friends and pets she adores. But no matter how hard she tries, she can’t forget the horrible event that’s haunted her for ten years.
A survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Damon Greyson now helps others who have suffered trauma. His experience and intuition alert him to trouble in Charlotte’s past, and he wants to help her, if only she’d let him.
As they work together to help veterans suffering from PTSD and neglected dogs needing loving homes, their feelings for each other deepen. But when the trauma from Charlotte’s past roars back to life, both are forced to confront their painful histories—or die trying.
Excerpt:
She looked away. “I’m sorry. I hate women who use tears to get what
they want. It’s just that yesterday the shelter had to put down some
dogs. There was this one old dog, Shep….” She shook her head,
unable to finish.
He squeezed her elbow before letting her go. “I’m sorry, Charlotte.”
She nodded and again Damon sensed her vulnerability. Charlotte
tried to give off an aura of strength. She was the caregiving nurse,
the person others looked to for help. But who helped Charlotte?
After a few breaths, she straightened her shoulders and faced him,
her composure once more back in place. “How long do you think it
will be?”
“You mean until the retreat is up and running?” When she nodded, he
blew out a breath. “I don’t know. My building’s in worse shape than
I first thought.”
“If there’s anything I can do to speed up the process, let me know.”
“You know anything about unplugging sewer lines?”
She made a face. “You’re on your own, Greyson.”
Don’t I know it. “Hey, you asked. From now on I’ll only request your
help when it comes to dogs.”
She chuckled. “Good plan.”
This time Charlotte’s smile was genuine, and for a moment Damon
couldn’t breathe. He found himself wondering what it would be like
to have the full force of her smile directed at him on a regular basis,
and to know there was real affection for him behind the smile. The
longing he experienced at that thought shocked him.
Better not to allow such thoughts to take root. Despite all the work
he’d done over the years to overcome the harm done to him in the
past, he still had questions. Would it ever be possible for him to have
a normal, loving, long-term relationship with a woman? So far, the
longest relationship he’d had lasted only six months.
Maybe he’d always be damaged goods.
