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.
And I don’t blame any of them.
I used to dream big in this little town.
Now, my only goal is making it through the day intact.
Until Eddie Landry walks into my world.
He’s ten years younger. A single dad. Steady, kind, and impossibly patient. What starts as friendship quietly turns into something I never planned for.
Because Eddie doesn’t see some woman from the headlines.
He sees me.
With him, I can breathe. With his son, I feel something I never expected—belonging.
Too bad the past won’t stay buried.
My estranged husband isn’t done trying to control the narrative. Or me. And loving a man with a child means understanding that when the storm comes, it won’t only be my life caught in the crossfire.
If I stay, I put them at risk.
If I walk away, I lose everything I’ve wanted.
A later-in-life, small-town romance about finding safety after betrayal—and risking everything for love.
