About this item

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…

HOLY FREAKING SWOOOOOOON!!

I've loved every book Catherine Cowles has written and this was another top favorite! It was passionate, heartfelt, and sexy, with just enough suspense to keep my heart racing on every page. In my eyes, this was perfect!!

I loved Shep and Thea’s story so much, and I loved every second spent with them. I loved Thea’s journey, and Shep absolutely stole my heart. And the tension in this book is so good! And more than just the physical, the emotional connection that develops between Shep and Thea is absolutely gorgeous. They get to know each other, they don’t hold anything back, and when Thea is at her lowest, Shep is there to catch her, and every moment of it is just beautiful. The suspense part of the story is woven so well, providing an intriguing edge to everything else that’s happening. I was equally wrapped up in both sides of this story. And let me tell you - things got INTENSE towards the end! Catherine got me good with a jaw dropping plot twist I never saw coming. *hand clap*

This series is my newest favorite addiction. The small town charm and the found family elements are second to none. Addictive and heart stopping suspense that captivates from the first to the very last page…I lost myself in this book! A swoon-filled romance that made my heart race, and a suspenseful angst that kept me glued to every page. I LOVED IT!! It’s simply one of the most heartfelt, purely romantic stories I've ever read. A top favorite!

Catherine does it again. But there's no surprise there since she's phenomenal.
Everything about this world and these characters pulls me in every time. I'm struggling to find the words to describe how much I loved Shep and Thea's story.

Swoony hero, a heroine with a quiet strength, all the good and bad that comes with life in a small town, a good dose of suspense to keep you hooked with all the twists and turns to keep you guessing. The banter, laughs, found/chosen family, and the journey from budding friendship to "more".

Shep is the most precious golden retriever hero with just enough edge to keep him from being too good to be true. The patience and support he gives Thea from the very beginning through all of her struggles and growth is what everyone deserves in a partner.

I love Thea's journey from terrified to taking back her life and her strength. Her willingness to let Shep in even though it scared her. She's a fighter.

I'm drawn more into Sparrow Falls and the Colson family with every chapter and book. I'm so looking forward to the rest of this series but also never want it to end.

Returning to Sparrow Falls for Shep and Theas story was like wrapping myself in a warm hug. Catherine knocked it out of the park and bamboozled me once again!

This story is full of humor, romance, swoon, joy, and of course a plot twist you will never see coming from the queen of romantic suspense!

Shep and Thea are characters with many layers to uncover through the story and each one makes you love them even more as the story goes on!

I had a fantastic time returning to Sparrow Falls with Shep, Thea and the whole gang! And be prepared- Lolli hasnt changed one bit ????

5.0 out of 5 stars Thea & Shep
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2024
Thea had her life messed up and the trauma that came with that was horrible but amazing to read it being represented.

Having kindness shown to you when all your used to is pain is different and suspicious at times. But watching her slowly grow into herself was amazing.

Shep…was everything. My overall obsessed man.
The way he understood everything Thea needed and didn’t pressure her was amazing going at her pace knowing what she’d been through.

Also helping others without expecting anything back. The tension between him and Thea…
Also bonus points for recreating some spicy scenes with Thea.

Catherine has a way to draw in readers and get them hooked and have them go on an emotional rollercoaster. I loved every bit of this story and can’t wait to read more.
