Synopsis
Isabel Nichols’s life
changed in more ways than one through the years. As a young child, she
experienced a loss that devastated her. It wasn’t until she was an adult that
the universe around her shattered. In a twenty-four-hour time frame, she lost
what she’d thought was her world. What followed was a year of mourning, a year
of grieving, a year of darkness. Now, there’s one man who can show her the
light.
Dakota Jackson left his
life behind on a whim, moving to a beach cottage away from the big city where
he grew up. He sees through Izzie’s clouds as he gets to know her, with the
drive to be everything that she’s ever needed. The only problem is, Dakota
holds the key to a secret that could ruin both of their hopes and dreams.
Passion isn’t always
enough to heal a broken heart; love isn’t always enough to guide you through
the darkness.
This is about two souls
that were meant to be together from the day they were born. Two people who have
to figure out a way to look past the memories. It’s the now; it’s living your
life as you’re meant to, loving the one your heart craves. It’s about letting
go of the grieving, learning to be who you are, and accepting life for what it
is.
Can
love cure all things despite its hardships?
Endorsement
"Lives
entwined as intricately as a lovers' knot, Dakota balances his need to get
closer to Izzie with her need for distance in a battle of wills where love and
acceptance is the ultimate prize." Author Libby Austin.
Excerpt
The glass shatters around my feet
and a few pieces actually cut my skin.
“Shit. Shit. Shit!” I yell.
“Don’t move; you’ll cut yourself
even more.”
In a flash, I’m lifted from the
floor and placed onto the counter. Dakota raised me like it was nothing, and is
now looking around for the broom and dustpan.
“Pantry,” I say and point to the
door.
“I’m sorry for startling you; I
didn’t mean to scare you. Are you always this jumpy?” he asks as he stops what
he’s doing to glance at me.
“Yes, when I have a strange man
in my kitchen that I don’t know is behind me, I tend to be a little jumpy,” I
say with a hint of sarcasm.
“I’m not a stranger, you know.
Just a guy that moved in next door and is trying to get to know the neighbor.”
“Are you done yet? I’ve got work
to do.”
“Almost, but you need to let me
clean the cuts on your foot first, then you can go back to work.”
“I’ll clean them. I don’t need
anyone to take care of me. Got it?”
“Oh, I’m sure you can take care
of yourself, but I think you should let me take care of you. You know, it’s not
a bad thing to let people in.”
God,
that smirk he always gives me … it’s about to drive me nuts. Jumping down from
the counter, I decide to do this myself. This is a conversation that needs to
be avoided. In the bathroom, I lock the door behind me and locate the peroxide
and a bandage. I hike my foot up on the side of the tub and dab the cotton ball
onto the small cut. My breath hitches from the sting. Satisfied that they’re
clean enough, everything goes back up and I head back out.
