Publisher's summary

Morgan Spencer has had just about all he can take of life. Following the tragic death of his wife, Jill, he retreats to his brother's Rocky Mountain ranch to heal and focus on the care of his infant daughter, Olivia. Two years later, Morgan begins to make plans to return to his home in Santa Barbara to pick up the pieces of his life and career.

Quinn Riley has been avoiding her past for four years. Standing up for the truth has forced her into a life of fear and isolation. After a "chance" first meeting and a Thanksgiving snowstorm, Quinn is drawn into the Spencer family's warm and loving world, and she begins to believe she might find freedom in their friendship. The man Quinn helped put behind bars has recently been released, however, and she fears her past will endanger the entire Spencer family. As the danger heightens, she determines to leave town for the sake of the people who have come to mean so much to her. Fixing problems is what Morgan Spencer does best, and he is not willing to let Quinn run away, possibly into the clutches of a man bent on revenge. But Morgan's solution sends him and Quinn on an unexpected path, with repercussions neither could have anticipated.

I loved watching Morgan finally find happiness.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes it was emotional and enjoyable and kept my interest.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Morgan. I loved watching him find happiness and he seemed to find peace.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it only took me a couple of days to read it in spite of work.

Any additional comments?

I was really glad to see another story in this series. The previous book about Morgan and Jill and their daughter who died was very depressing so I really enjoyed this book.

Heart wrenching!

The whole series had disappointments as there would be in real life. Morgan and Jill’s daughters death and then Jill’s death made me wonder if Morgan would pull thru the pain.
