Publisher's Synopsis
Aren Jacobs trusts no one. Reeling from a devastating altercation with her foster family that left her scarred inside and out, she's suddenly unemployed and all too happy to isolate herself from the world. But when a severe storm threatens her small community, Aren goes out to help and ends up saving Carol Matthews's life. Carol doesn't know who to turn to after the storm leaves her homeless and grief stricken. Taking refuge with the woman who saved her is only one of her bad options, but there's something about Aren that makes her feel safe despite all the rumors flying around town about what really happened the night Aren returned to visit her foster family. The last thing Aren expects is to fall for Carol. Sharing her home is one thing, but sharing her heart means sharing the demons in her past and risking everything to keep Carol safe.
