The reclusive, bearded, mountain man has secrets of his own and with one growl, she knew she’d be safe. Sure, he might only talk to her to ask who hurt her, but at least the quiet will let her heal.
When the elusive drummer from one of the biggest rock bands in the world shows up on Bodhi’s doorstep, he needs her to leave yesterday. As soon as he sees the bruises, he knows she needs to stay.
A fire took everything from him once, and the town he thought he could trust turned on him before he could grieve. Falling for a woman in the spotlight is the last thing he needs.
Yet it might be the one thing that could save them both when the darkness of their pasts finally catches up with them.
Sneak Peek Excerpt:
Callum and Felicity laughed behind the bar, pulling drafts for family members as they milled about, and more town folk drifted along, some of them still judging. After all, the age gap between the two wasn’t that small. In fact, the significance of it might’ve made other people raise their brows as much as they were. But our family was no stranger to being the talk of the town or doing some shit that made people sneer.
My sister Briar was getting married after she had gotten pregnant. Well, that had just been the tip of the iceberg. My own twin died in a fiery crash, and some still mumbled under their breath that it could have been drugs.
Stupid fucking people. Malcolm hadn’t died of drugs, at least not on his end.
I rubbed my hand over my beard, wondering what I looked like underneath. After all, that’s what Malcolm would look like. He always liked to be clean-shaven. And perhaps I’d been somewhat the same. She’d liked me with a beard and without.
But she was gone. And I was too tired to care about anyone else. I’d be the selfish asshole that people thought I was.
I ran my hand over my nose ring, twisting the hoop slightly. I always did that when I needed to get out of a certain situation, and needed space. Teagan usually called me on it, but she was too busy laughing at something Finnian and Sterling were saying. Each of the twins had one of Finnian’s girls on their hips, bouncing them around and making the girls giggle.
It was like a cut straight to the heart. Bile coated my tongue.
I loved my nieces. All three of them. And when the rest of my siblings began to have kids, I would love them too.
But seeing them hurt.

About Ashford Creek Series:
A small town. Big secrets. And a fallen founding family. Ashford Creek is waiting.
The Ashfords were once the leaders of their small town, but that was generations ago. Now they’re the children of the town drunk—a man that most likely murdered not one wife, but two. Or at least that’s what current gossip says.
Now it’s time for the Ashfords and their friends to reclaim their names and uncover the town secrets that shroud their every movement.
But in order to do that, they’ll need to right the wrongs they’ve made and take a few chances none of them saw coming.
***
The Ashford Creek series is a small town, contemporary romantic suspense series full of enemies to lovers, best friends saying yes, a few (or more) single dads, and all the heat the best book boyfriends can take.
