Sheltering Sparks
(2026)(The fourth book in the Sparkwood: Scenes From A Small Town series)
A novel by M L Broome
I used to be the darling of Sparkwood. Until the day they arrested my husband.
Now I'm a cautionary tale. An outcast. A pariah. The monster's wife.
I used to dream big in this little town. Now my only goal is making it through the day intact.
Then Eddie Landry walks into my world. He's ten years younger. A single dad. Steady, kind, and entirely too good-looking for my sanity. He makes me feel safe. Makes me smile again. Makes me feel everything.
Because Eddie doesn't see some woman from the headlines. He sees me.
But happiness is fleeting. My past returns with a vengeance—threatening to bury us all.
The only way to keep the man I love and his son safe is to walk away. Pretend we meant nothing and break both our hearts in the process.
It's a terrible choice. But it's mine to make.
A later-in-life, small-town romance about finding safety after betrayal—and learning to want again.
