About the book:
Lauren Layne’s
heart-wrenching novel tells the story of a girl with secrets, a guy with scars,
and a love that could save them both . . . or destroy them.
When Olivia Middleton abandons the glamour of Park Avenue
for a remote, coastal town in Maine, everyone assumes she’s being the kind
do-gooder she’s always been. But Olivia has a secret: helping an injured war
veteran reenter society isn’t about charity—it’s about penance. Only, Olivia’s
client isn’t the grateful elderly man she’s expecting. Instead, he’s a brooding
twenty-four-year-old who has no intention of being Olivia’s path to redemption
. . . and whose smoldering gaze and forbidden touch might be her undoing.
Paul Langdon doesn’t need a mirror to show him he’s no
longer the hotshot quarterback he was before the war. He knows he’s ugly—inside
and out. He’ll do anything to stay in self-imposed exile, even accept his
father’s ultimatum that Paul tolerate the newest caretaker for three months or
lose his inheritance. But Paul doesn’t count on the beautiful
twenty-two-year-old who makes him long for things that he can never have. And the
more she slips past his defenses, the more keeping his distance is impossible.
Now Paul and Olivia have to decide: Will they help each
other heal? Or are they forever broken?
** Teaser Reveal!**
Olivia squirms.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I've never
known a female to acquiesce that easily without a catch. How about you hit me
with it now and get it over with?”
Olivia shrugs.
"Fine. I was going to say that I won't run alone, if you promise to go
with me."
"No," I
say, almost before she's finished her sentence.
"Why
not?"
I rap my cane once
against the ground. "Well, for starters, despite the fact that there are
tortoises that could surpass your sorry excuse for a jog, I'm in no shape to
accompany even the most pathetic of runners."
"What a handy
skill you have of overloading a sentence with insults," she says as she
reaches up to adjust her ponytail. "That must be helpful what with your
thriving social life and all."
I thump my cane
against the ground again, studying her. "Must be nice, picking on the
cripple."
Olivia rolls her
eyes. "Please. Your soul's more crippled than your leg."
She
has no idea how right she is, and I have no intention of letting her anywhere
close enough to find out. I've gotten good at shutting people out by pushing
them away . . . being as nasty as possible until they reach their breaking
point. But with her? It's different.
