Falling Embers (Tattered & Torn, #2)

by Catherine Cowles

If something happened to Hadley, I’d never be the same. And I would’ve wasted precious time pushing her away.

“Love is pain. One can’t exist without the other. The more you expand your heart, the more you have the possibility of being hurt. The deeper you let someone into that space, the more it will kill if anything ever happens to them. That’s life. I shut it off for years after the accident, but I don’t want to anymore. You will always be worth the risk to me.”
