Because our hardest chapters don’t have to be our final ones.
Four years after tragedy, Meredith Harper is tired of hiding in her corner of Texas and living life like a game of dodgeball. She packs up her grief, awkward social graces, and sizable life insurance in search of a vacation and investment property in Colorado Springs. A botched dinner reservation throws her into the path of a bona fide movie star, and Meredith pushes through her comical celebrity neurosis to discover he is charming but a terrible dancer.
A viral video of a daring rescue makes Harlan Holcombe's celebrity star stronger, with millions of his fans deeming him a real-life Hercules. But a minute of heroism doesn't absolve his past mistakes.
As Harlan and Meredith spend more time together, he helps her believe there might be more for her not just in life but in love. And she might be part of the solution to restore the legacy he fears is tarnished. But what happens when the path to redeem his mistakes collides with the path to redeem her loss?
A Note From Deborah: This book is Twelve Years in the making, and if you get me talking about the title, the cover, or the journey to find my beautiful editor at haven, I will cry all over you. I’d love to have you part of the newsletter community where you’ll get updates about book 2 in the shelter & sky series.
“This story has so much heart and emotion, while laced with humor and hope that it captured my attention and would not let go. This isn’t some Pollyanna view of the world, but a real, gritty, hope-infused foray into what’s been and what could be. I loved it and can’t wait for the next book!”
— Cara Putman, award-winning and best-selling author of The Accused
