A contemporary romance about courage, loss, and moving on.
Callie Kingston’s life as an Orange County housewife isn’t as perfect as it seems. Her husband isn’t the same man she fell in love with nine years ago, and her home is no longer her safe haven. But she’s determined to keep up appearances, especially when it comes to concealing the bruises her husband’s temper leaves behind.
Until Cole Luciano moves into her best friend’s house across the street. He’s abrasive and rude, but his steel-blue eyes tell a different story—one with dark secrets that has Callie curious.
After suffering through an unspeakable tragedy, Cole settles into his sister’s pool house until he can get back on his feet. He’s convinced that he deserves to live with the guilt he harbors from his past, and wants nothing more than to be left alone. Yet he can’t seem to stay away from his beautiful neighbor.
He sees right through Callie’s carefully orchestrated lies and is desperate to help her. Callie discovers more than an angry and bitter man underneath Cole’s hard exterior.
But when Callie finally finds the courage to create a new life for herself, Cole isn’t sure if there’s enough of his heart left to give in order to be the man she deserves.
Can two broken souls heal each other, or are some just too damaged to be put back together?
*This story contains very sensitive subject matter including domestic abuse & infertility.

I enjoyed seeing Callie and Cole come out of the darkness and into the light with each other. They both suffered their own tragedies and showed each other how to heal and love again. You can find hope in the darkest of days.
This book is perfection. The way the story is wrote it is done beautifully. 5/5 ✨ & highly recommend!
So much of this story was devastatingly sad but beautifully written with a light at the end of the tunnel. I love how even though Cole and Callie both lived through thier own tragedies they were able to create thier own love story while healing eachother together. I cried, held my breath, laughed and hoped for the characters. The story held so much depth, emotion and layers.
This book has brought me so much healing. I’ve lost 4 babies! It validated my feelings and struggles! And it showed me I should start going to a grief group! Thank you so much Kristen!
This is a book I read out of left field. Amazingly written. Story line like no other. I don’t leave reviews often but this one deserves the praise.
