About the Book

After escaping an abusive marriage with her young daughter, Nessa isn't ready for love. Then her best friend sets her up with Peter- sweet, nerdy, and determined to show them that they deserve better. Can she take a chance on a new beginning?

Book Synopsis

After escaping a toxic marriage, Nessa has finally put the pieces of her life back together with only one goal in mind- protect her daughter, Emma, at all costs. A second chance at love is a risk she can no longer afford.

Until her best friend, Nora, convinces her to go on a blind date with Peter.

Kind, steady, and just the right amount of nerdy, Peter sees the woman beneath the scars and challenges Nessa to believe in a future she thought was impossible. But as her past refuses to stay buried and a new happiness dawns, Nessa is forced to confront the one person who threatens to shatter her fragile new life- herself. Okay... two people- herself and her volatile ex, Matthew.

Can she find the courage to trust Peter and his promises or will the ghosts of her past force her to cling to the life she is desperate to escape?
