A LOVE WORTH SAVING

Former lovers reunite in the midst turmoil in Grey’s romantic thriller.

When Kyle Ryan walks back into her life after eight years, Sophie Kingman is sure she is completely over her former fiancée; an unsurprising conclusion, considering how he shattered her heart and soul. Now Sophie’s in the middle of an emotional crisis while mourning her mother’s recent death, worrying about her failed career goals, and dealing with a stalker who has been leaving roses on her car. So facing Kyle and his sudden desire for her forgiveness is the last thing she needs—and damn him for still being so attractive! Kyle is a veteran of the conflict in Afghanistan with post-traumatic stress disorder brought on by the death of a young soldier under his command. He’s just recently discovered that he had been lied to about Sophie—the woman he has always loved—betraying his trust years before. Seeking absolution for the gravest mistake he has ever made, he vows to keep her safe from the potentially life-threatening stalker, which might be the first step toward winning her back. But with so much history between them, and the tumultuous lives they find themselves living, can Sophie and Kyle make their way to one another, leave the past behind, and build a new life together?  “I’m not going to dance around our past, Soph,” Kyle tells her; “it doesn’t define our future.” A stand-alone entry in the author’s Worth It romance series, this lovely story takes on topics such as healing, grieving, and forgiveness, concentrating on its protagonists both as a couple and as individuals on their own journeys. Kyle’s guilt over the soldier who lost his life under his command, and the steps he takes to heal, are particularly touching elements of the narrative. The suspense aspect adds another layer of intrigue, and, while the resolution of the stalker storyline is fairly obvious, there is a surprising twist that takes the novel into an unexpected direction.

A sweet second-chance romance with a generous side of suspense.
