When painful pasts collide, can love overcome heartache—and triumph despite the odds?

Christi Reece is desperate. The onetime golden girl’s life has tarnished, and a cascade of setbacks has left her reeling. She needs help, and she’s certain Jack Colby is in a position to provide it.

When she shows up in Hope Harbor, however, Jack wants nothing to do with the woman who betrayed him. He’s built a new life on the Oregon coast—and there’s no room in it for Christi, even after she takes refuge in a charming but mysterious

cottage nearby. Yet it soon becomes apparent his opinion of her may need revising … especially when he ends up needing her help.

Can these two hurting souls open their hearts to a new beginning?
