Wandering In The Dark

<p><strong>Amber:</strong></p><p>Desperate to gain some control of my spiraling life I made a reckless decision in the form of a 6'4 grumpy tattooed man. A man that buys the storefront next door to mine three weeks later. Jake is infuriating cocky and burrowing his way under my skin. As tensions fly so does a connection that surprises and terrifies me - one that might help us both.</p><p>The more I see behind his broody persona the more I feel my restraint slipping. Our growing feelings could heal us both but how do I keep the pain of my past from holding me back?</p><p><strong>Jake:</strong></p><p>Watching my best friend marry the love of his life only reminded me how empty mine feels. Everyone wants something from the quiet guy covered in ink - but no one stays long enough to see what's underneath.</p><p>When Amber storms into my world all fire and sharp edges I realize she's exactly what I didn't know I needed. Working side by side forces us into each other's orbit and despite our differences I see the pain behind her guarded eyes and the strength holding her together.</p><p>I'm falling for her but how do I make her see she doesn't have to wander in the dark alone?</p>
