ππ ππππ π''πππ.Her life changed the moment she met him. Fleeing from the religious commune that raised her, Clara was forced to leave behind everything and everyone she'd ever known. Completely alone and terrified, she's close to despair… until she sees Dominic. Able to anticipate every need she has without so much as a word, she easily falls into his arms, feeling safe and letting him hold her close through her first night of freedom.
He thought he was too broken to love.When Dominic became the manager of the safe house, he was determined to do anything to help those in need. However, his demons prevent him from letting anyone get too close, earning him the affectionate nickname ‘Mr. Grumpy.’ But when Clara arrives, the dark-haired artist with the contagious laugh makes him feel things he didn't think he was capable of. Attraction. Passion. All consuming love. And for the first time, he imagines a future where he isn't alone.
As he helps Clara adjust to life in the outside world, she finds herself falling hard for the flannel-wearing grump. She doesn't know what her future will be, but she knows that there isn’t a thing they can’t accomplish together. She needs a life with him in it.
But when Dominic's painful past is laid bare, unleashing demons he’s been running from for years, he's torn between everything he ever wanted and the pain he can't seem to leave behind. Realizing that he can't have a future for himself if he's chained to his past, he has no choice but to push Clara away, breaking her heart.
However, as Clara reluctantly moves on and Dominic watches her slip away, he realizes he's made the worst mistake of his life. Yet, what choice did he have? Being with her means facing down his demons once and for all. But a life without her in it? That's no life at all.
