Description

Two people find love in the embers of their painful pasts in this slow-burn romance from Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Winter Renshaw.

For me, family is a curse. My father and brother made my life hell. My mother's untimely death still keeps me up at night. Now that my brother, Donovan, has been killed in an accident, I can forget the past.

The last remnant is the childhood home I've inherited--and which I intend to burn to the ground. The only obstacle? Anneliese Nielsen, Donovan's fiancée.

Donovan left her destitute, and selling this run-down house is her only chance to recoup her losses. I shouldn't care, but...maybe it's her eyes when she sees me. I look strikingly like my brother, a man she loved despite everything.

So we strike a deal. We'll renovate the house together, but she'll have to convince me to sell--or up in flames it goes.

But the more time we spend in the house, the more its terrible history threatens to come out.

And even more dangerous, the harder I start to fall for Anneliese.
