A Wish In The Wind
(2023)(The sixth book in the Creekwood Valley series)
A novel by Alannah Carbonneau
The lone survivor of a brutal attack that left her two best friends dead, Heidi spent the last decade hiding within the walls of her tiny Seattle apartment, going out just enough to escape a diagnosis of agoraphobia. At night, she’s woken by nightmares of black, soulless eyes, and a promise that he’ll find her. Come for her. Steal her life like he stole the lives of those she loved.
And he does come, forcing her to run yet again.
Determined to revive the business his late father left him, Jaxton Hill is a busy man. He’s too busy for the tiny woman with the mess of red hair and big, sad brown eyes. But now that woman is here, in his house, in his kitchen—and he wants her in his bed.
The problem is she’s let it out that she’s untouched. In every way. And he’s not in the business of making the kind of promises a woman like her will expect. But Jax knows what it means to live loving a ghost. He watched his father worship at the altar of his dead mother for years, and it’s because of this he’s lived by a vow to never fall. Never want. Never love.
Yet, with every shy smile Heidi shoots him, Jax feels himself falling. With every secret she tells him, he finds himself wanting. And when he finally brings her into his bed, he finds himself loving her like he’s never loved another.
He can only hope that he’ll be able to protect her from the killer who hunts her, because if he fails, he’ll spend his life like his father. Worshiping at the altar of a ghost.
