Artist Manora Fredrickson fled Baltimore hoping to leave the pain of the past behind her. Retreating to her ancestral home in rural eastern North Carolina, she’s hellbent on moving forward and concentrating on her painting career. Her curious neighbor, Matt Vogel, doesn’t leave her to her solitude for long. One glance at Nora dancing in her barn is all it takes to enrapture the friendly fisherman. The two have an undeniable rapport, and Matt’s ready to end his long spell of bachelorhood and see where their chemistry takes them. However, Nora’s throwing up one roadblock after another. Matt doesn’t buy her excuse that she’s not “suitable” for a relationship. She’s smart, creative, and caring—the perfect partner in his mind. But Nora’s last relationship left her believing that she’d never be enough for anyone, no matter what. If she can’t reclaim her spark and the confidence she once had, not only will her creativity suffer, but so will her opportunity to finally connect with someone in a way she’s long deserved. This is a revised, expanded, second edition of the book first published in 2012 by Crimson Romance.
