A secret past, a present danger, a love worth pursuing…
The tabloids once painted Kellan Maddox as a reckless billionaire, but Heart Lake sees a different man. As CEO of his family’s global foundation, he’s rolling up his sleeves to help them rebuild homes and businesses after a devastating storm. He sees it as a short-term project until he meets Dr. Patti Iwasaki.
She pours her heart into caring for her patients and doesn’t have time for a man whose past is splashed across magazine covers. But the more she sees of Kellan, the more she realizes he’s no longer the man the tabloids describe. As he works to repair and expand the medical center, she discovers a man who listens, who cares, who sees her.
But Patti’s past isn’t finished with her. As secrets unravel, so does the safety of the small town she calls home. With danger closing in, Kellan refuses to let her face it alone.
No matter what it takes, he intends to prove to her that true love doesn’t run—it stands firm, even in the storm.
