Shuttered Hearts

Description

One phone call changes everything.

Returning to Ashford Falls was the last thing Quinn Marks wanted to do; it reminded her of a past with her mother she was desperately trying to forget, but sometimes plans change. Quinn knew there was always a possibility she’d received the call telling her she was running out of time with her father, but that didn’t mean she was ready for it.

Running from a messy situation of his own, Declan Day hadn’t been sure he would stay in Ashford Falls, but it’s been five years, and he’s still here. He knew his best friend had a sister, but somehow, he’s gone five years without meeting her. Now she’s working at the school with him, and he can’t stop thinking about her.

Although they both have reasons for avoiding romantic relationships, neither can deny the chemistry they feel for each other. As they struggle with their feelings and confront the past, will Declan and Quinn realize that it might be worth opening their shuttered hearts to face an uncertain future together?
