Susannah McGuiness and Jake Lassiter have flirted around their attraction but now that he's hired her to redecorate his home, they've decided to just acknowledge it and move forward. Unfortunately for Jake, it apparently triggered his PTSD nightmares.
This is a story about grace, faith and the power of both in the midst of a debilitating condition. The realities of PTSD amongst our veterans was well presented through Jake who served in Iraq and suffered a traumatic loss that still haunts him. His burgeoning relationship with Susannah was an important part of his recovery as well as a contribution to the problem.
The families of both, extended and otherwise, play significant roles and Susannah's sister, Shelby, is perfectly set up for the next book.
I really enjoyed this story, which was personally well timed to deliver a message I was open to hearing. Jake and Susannah's triumph was inspirational.

I need to search and learn more about Ava Miles. Your review makes me want to read her. Soon. Much appreciated.
She has two series, this one and Dare Valley. I'd start with that one as this one is its spinoff. The first book is Nora Roberts Land.

Oh. I read the title but I pegged as a cynical way to see romance. Don't know why... Like "how mr darcy ruined women's perspectives" like. Dead wrong, I was.
I will search and buy it. Between The Obsession and The Bay of Sighs meet me in Nora Roberts land.
THANK YOU!

I was skeptical, too, but it's really good! And, it has suspense.
