Stay quiet. Stay safe. Stay strong.
Raising my son in picture-perfect Sunnyville is the fresh start I always prayed for but never thought we’d get. Each day that passes makes it a little easier to breathe, but I’m worried about falling into old patterns when I meet the newest police officer in town.
Southern charmer Smith Layne’s ready smile and good looks remind me all too well of my late husband, so I try to keep him at arm’s length. The last thing I need is another lapse in judgment, but little by little, he chips away at my reservations and rekindles my desire. I’ve never felt more seen, and it terrifies me in a way I’m not sure I’m ready for.
Be patient. Be present. Be a better man.
Single mother Willow Ashford is everything I typically avoid. She’s unassuming, isn't the love-’em-and-leave-’em type, and comes as a package deal. Even so, her sad eyes and hidden fire draw me in and make me rethink my stance on relationships.
I left Starwood to pursue a new career, but every moment with her offers a glimpse of something I never thought I’d want. She’s been hurt before and is rightfully wary, so I’ll show my caliber through words and actions. I want to promise her forever, I just need to prove myself first.

This book is part of the Everyday Heroes World. It is the
first book by Kimberly that I have read. I really enjoyed this book. Willow and
her son, Barrie are new to Sunnywood. So is Smith. They meet when Barrie makes
a 911 call. Smith responds and helps the boy realize that what he wanted while
well intentioned wasn’t actually a reason to call 911. Smith knows right away
something has happened to Willow. He wants to spend more time with the two. He
doesn’t understand why he feels such a connection to Willow. Willow doesn’t
want to make the same mistake again. She is learning to trust her instincts
again. She is still healing from her ex. Smith takes her completely by
surprise. He may be the best thing that happens to her though. He helps her see
she isn’t that same person anymore. That what happened to her wasn’t her fault.
This book was a wonderful read. The characters pull you in. This book does involve
DV so if that is a trigger for you, you may want to skip this book. Kimberly
did a fantastic job with this book. I look forward to reading more books by
Kimberly in the future.
