Delicate Escape (Sparrow Falls #2)

A heart-pounding small-town romance perfect for fans of Elsie Silver’s found family stories and the emotional intensity of Colleen Hoover.

Running means never getting too close—especially not to a man like Shepard Colson.
The golden-boy contractor of this tiny mountain town is all easy charm, broad shoulders, and devastating good looks. The kind of man who could make you believe in forever. The kind of man I promised myself I’d never trust again.

So moving in with him? Worst idea imaginable.

But Shep keeps showing up at the bakery with that soft smile, those amber eyes, and questions that peel back my defenses one truth at a time. And when the secrets I’ve tried to bury come crashing down, he’s the one determined to protect me—by moving into my crumbling cabin and rebuilding more than just the walls.

Soon he’s everywhere: shirtless in my garden, dripping water in my hallway, quietly stitching himself into the broken pieces of my life. He tells me I’m stronger than my past. He makes me believe it. And against every instinct I have, I fall.

But happiness was never meant for someone like me.

Because the ghost I’ve been running from has finally caught up.
And he’ll do anything to tear my new life apart—especially the man who’s become my home.

A swoony, protective-hero romance filled with tension, heat, and high-stakes emotion—perfect for readers who love small-town charm, found-family warmth, and a heroine fighting to claim her future.
