Fear says you can’t. Love says you must.

Elaine Kent hopes a new name, a new town, and a new job will help heal her wounded spirit. All she wants is a quiet life free from her traumatic past. When a battered female teen escapes into her store, Elaine has seconds to decide if helping is worth the risk. Helping the hurt teen lands Elaine in the middle of a human trafficking ring and back into a world of fear and danger. When Judah Demski walks into Elaine’s store with his daughter to buy a present, life takes a quick turn toward relationship land. But Elaine wants to remain in the friend zone. Her past and their presence threaten to unravel her a new comfortable lifestyle.

To save herself, and Judah and his daughter, Elaine knows she needs a hero … or the courage to become one.

A fantastic follow-up to Dakota Peace, this book includes all of Kinney’s passion and realism from Dakota Peace, but with a different flair/flavor that perfectly represents the new characters and their circumstances. Kinney’s characters get into some crazy situations, but their relatability and honesty make you want to keep reading to see what will happen next.

An emotional story full of hope. Another great book by Kinney. (Rated PG)
