Five lonely years after losing her husband, Brynn Sullivan is still learning how to stitch her life back together. Pregnant at the time of Dean’s death, their young daughter, Paige, has missed growing up with a father’s love, and selling their family home feels like Brynn’s final attempt at moving on. But when Dean’s Aunty Alice unexpectedly leaves Brynn a rundown house in Rushworth, she finds herself forced to return to the small town she never wanted to go back to.
A sparky by trade, Scott Ryan came to Rushworth to escape the nightmares of a job gone horribly wrong. A week after he handed over the keys to a client, she and her daughter were dead. Now he keeps work simple, safe, and far from anything that might stir the memories he’s spent years trying to bury.
So when Brynn arrives needing renovations—and electrical work—Scott wants nothing to do with it. But the attractive resilience in her eyes, and the way Paige’s laughter cracks open a place in his heart he thought was sealed for good, walking away is harder than he’d banked on.
As memories of Dean’s hometown and unsettling events shake Brynn’s confidence for a bright future with her daughter, can Scott help Brynn and Paige, and face the very thing he’s not sure he’s strong enough to survive?
