Edith “Eddy” Wheeler was having a bad day.

A no good, very bad day.
It’s understandable, really. I mean, there didn’t seem to be anything worse than walking in on your elderly parents doing things no child should ever see. Add into that their proclivities, and Eddy is disgusted and disturbed.
So of course, after seeing the atrocious things her parents—the pastor and pastor’s wife that are supposed to be holy and a teacher of faith—are into, she makes it her life goal to expose them to their masses. The cult-like following her father has will see him for the man he is—an abuser who gets a sick thrill at seeing his girls suffer.
She will no longer allow the people of Sawtooth, Montana, to think that they’re safe when they’re anything but.
That’s where Weaver Grant comes in.
A sexy lineman who climbs poles for a living, has forearms that can break a woman in mind, body, and soul, and a smile that does things deep inside of her that she refuses to acknowledge just yet.
She has a plan.
A really good one, too.
But that plan dies a thousand deaths when she’s attacked by a bear on a hike that she was using to cleanse her soul. She thought she was supposed to be afraid of men, but that rabid bear showed her a new side of herself.
She spends weeks in the hospital, and a certain hot lineman takes it upon himself to see her healthy again. He never leaves her side. He solves all her problems. And he shows her how a real man treats a woman.
But once she’s healed and her world is once again righted, will he have a reason to stay since she no longer needs saving?

đź’šReviewđź’š

Eddy’s parents may be pillars of the town and the church they lead but her relationship with them is strained and includes one mandated visit a week.    When she arrives early she sees a side of her parents that she can’t ignore however to bring them to justice more evidence is required which is what brings Weaver into his life.

Weaver was faced with an impossible choice and that decision left him estranged from his family when he was incarcerated.   With the help of Apollo, he has created a new life for himself even if he can’t be with them.   Working together to bring Eddy’s parents to justice brings them closer especially when it comes to their pasts.

Weaver and Eddy have a lot to overcome both when it comes to their pasts and the present as they take us on quite the ride that includes some family drama, a little suspense and a love that will change both their lives.
