Delicate Escape (Standard Edition)

A heart-stopping small-town romance, the second in the Sparrow Falls series, from USA Today bestselling author Catherine Cowles.

Trust doesn't come easily when you've been running for as long as I have, which is why moving in with a man I barely know is such a bad idea.

Shepard Colson is all golden-boy charm and devastating good looks. But I know what it's like to be taken in by easy smiles and the promise of forever–I have the scars to prove it.

Only the handsome contractor won't stop coming by the bakery and prying little truths from my lips. Those amber eyes of his seeing far too much. And when all the secrets come crashing down, he's determined to keep me safe. Even if it means moving into my rundown cabin to do it.

Now, Shep isn't just rebuilding the walls of my home, he's working his way into my heart. Suddenly, he's everywhere: shirtless in my garden or in a towel coming out of my bathroom. And my resolve is no match.

Only it's more than his golden looks. It's him. The way he watches for my wounds but tells me I'm stronger than anyone he's ever known. And I can't help but fall.

But I should've known better than to think I could be happy. Not when a ghost from my past still has me in his sights. And when he finds me, he'll do anything to tear my life apart, even if it means ending it for good...
