  THE END

  Wounded Love

  Releasing May 2017

  Ten years ago, Ellie Fairfield left Rocky Harbor brokenhearted and pregnant…

  Trying to take care of her son the best she can, the single mother returns to the town close to her heart to run a local inn. Ellie knows it will be tough moving back to Rocky Harbor, and that old memories will haunt her. But the last thing she expects to find on her doorstep is the man who abandoned her when she needed him the most.

  Angry at the war, the world, and himself, Colton Riley’s homecoming isn’t a pleasant one…

  Being medically discharged from the Marines is one of many disappointments Colton has suffered over the years. A decade ago, he lost a chunk of his heart when the love of his life betrayed him. A year ago he lost his leg. Now, half the man he once was, Colton tries to put back the pieces of his life by accepting a construction project at the local inn, but he didn’t count on finding Ellie standing on the front porch.

  The more time they spend together, the more they realize the love they shared years ago hasn’t died…

  Even though Ellie is still hurt and angry, she knows her heart belongs to Colton. It’s not easy letting go of the past, especially with the secret she’s hiding from everyone. But when an illness puts her little boy’s life in danger, she has no choice but to tell Colton the truth—a truth that threatens to destroy their love once and for all.

  With a past spun together in a web of lies, will Colton and Ellie be able to mend their wounded love?

  Acknowledgments

  Writing is a solitary event. Sometimes. Well, except when you jump back and forth from Facebook to Instagram to Twitter every time you’ve written a few hundred words. For this social butterfly, I am truly grateful for my friends, followers and fans whom I’ve never met, but rely on as a source of entertainment and ideas on a daily basis.

  Thank you especially to my Ricecakes who support and pimp me regularly: Rebecca, Amy, Chloe, Brenda, Anne, Amy, Denise, Stephanie, Suszet and Mary.

  And of course, thank you to my family, especially Princess, who is completely mortified that teenagers in her high school are reading her mother’s books.

  Happy reading, friends.
