tender romance about rescue, redemption, and the love that heals.
At twenty-three, Bethany Anderson is barely surviving — working double shifts, living alone, and carrying the weight of a life with no safety net. When illness forces her to stop, she meets Dr. Smith Barington, a brilliant but guarded man haunted by past mistakes. His instinct to protect her pulls them into a connection neither expected. A new position at Prescott Manor offers Bethany hope and a fresh start, but jealousy, rumors, and forbidden feelings threaten everything she’s building. Bethany must decide whether Smith is her shelter — or the risk her heart can’t survive. A clean, emotionally rich romance about second chances and quiet courage.
