But reality soon proves otherwise, and she decides she must put their 10-year-old son David first and file for divorce. When a loan shark barges into her apartment and demands the little cash she has left, she takes David and flees 400 miles across Montana to the only place that will shelter them–Ragin’ Moon Refuge. Tony Lascari’s family owns Ragin’ Moon, and he has seen many a broken woman pass through. He’s never been tempted, for he knows the baggage they carry.

There’s simply too much at stake to be distracted by Tony’s charm and rugged good looks. No matter how kind he is. No matter how safe he makes her feel. Will she risk a second chance at love with Tony? Or will lingering regrets and apprehensions about the future forever bind her to the present? A clean, small town, romantic suspense set in western Montana.

She’s a girl imprisoned in a tower. But the man who finds her is no prince. If a good man discovered a nineteen-year-old woman in a tower, imprisoned there, lied to by her captor, cut off from the realities of the modern world, a good man would rescue her. I’m not a good man. I can’t help myself. I’m too enticed by this untouched, innocent girl, this girl who’s never seen a man before, never seen any part of a man. I have too many ideas of things I’d like to do to her, things I’d like to teach her, ways I’d like to exploit her natural curiosity. So, I continue to deceive her, and I keep her there, my captive plaything. I don’t even think about taking her out of that tower. Not until I realize she’s pregnant with my child. Verge notes: This contemporary dark romance takes its cues from Rapunzel (with a little Jane Eyre homage nestled into the middle). It’s for mature readers. Discretion is advised. How dark, you ask? Dark enough to make you squirm, but with at least a vestige of redemption.

Five years. That’s how long I’ve kept the truth from everyone. One night with my brother’s best friend. My biggest mistake. My dirtiest secret. And the son I never told him about. Coming home should have been a fresh start. Instead, I walked straight into Warren Carter’s world again— the boardroom, the hospital halls, the dark looks that make my pulse race. Now there’s no avoiding him. Not in the hospital halls. Or after work. Not when every glance sparks something I buried years ago. He still sees his best friend’s sister. I’m terrified he’ll find out who I am now—the mother of the son he knows nothing about. The closer we get, the heavier the truth becomes, until it’s not only my heart on the line anymore. Because some secrets don’t stay buried. And what’s between us could ruin more than just a second chance.
