When he’s partnered with her on a dance show, he can’t quite believe it. Could this be his second chance at happiness or is Elise too broken?

When secrets from both their pasts threaten to tear them apart, Elise and Leo look certain to lose their chance of a happily ever after, or does family legend hold the key to the painful truth neither of them will want to face?

What a heart wrenching beautiful story 😥

A whole new side to Edwards writing

This deals with the emotional aspects of spousal abuse

The escape - The humiliation - The rebuild

The second chance to shine

Edwards did a formidable job of bringing Elise's pain to life

Of bringing me, the reader, wholly into the story.

I could feel her silent shame

Her need to justify what she believed others saw as a weakness

To right the past

I was a wreck from the beginning to the end.

Elise is fighting so hard to regain her self confidence.

To find the woman she once was.

For her daughter

For herself

Leo was such a formidable presence.

A light in her moment of need.

He didn't understand in the beginning but once he did

He was her rock

Her support

Her hope

Simon may your new roommate show you the same loving devotion you showered upon your family

This is one that will have you hugging your pillow

Attempting to peek at the coming pages (don't you dare!)

Crying those silent tears that incite little hiccups

Hoping

Believing

All I am a British author, from the depths of the rural countryside near London. In a previous life, I was an accountant from the age of twenty-one. I still do that on occasions, but most of my life is now spent intermingling writing while looking after my husband, two children and two cats (probably in the inverse order to the one listed!). When I have some spare time, I can also be found writing poetry, baking cakes (and eating them), or behind a camera snapping like a mad paparazzi.

I'm an avid reader who turned to writing to combat my depression and anxiety. I have a love of travelling and like to bring this to my stories to give them the air of reality.

I like my heroes hot and hunky with a dirty mouth, my heroines demure but with spunk, and my books full of dramatic suspense.
