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.
“All the stars for this amazing book! Even After This gutted me, then put me back together in such a beautiful way. I rarely cry while reading, but this book had me sobbing while experiencing all the emotions. The inexplicable grief & loss was expertly balanced with delightful humor, endearing characters you just want to hug, & an utterly swoon-worthy celebrity/second chance romance. This tender story deals with some soul-wrenching, heavy subjects that may be difficult for some readers, but Deborah Clack’s gorgeous writing handles all of it with grace, humor, & sweet new beginnings.”
