Gertrude Timbleton had the picture-perfect life in a small, booming town out West. She had a rich family, a social lifestyle, and the most handsome fiance she thought she could ever have. Until it was all swept away from beneath her feet in one foul evening. After a devastating fire takes everything she has ever loved, Gertie is left scarred, scared, full of questions and with no idea of who she can trust. All she has left in the world is her childhood friend and his family, but will they be enough to fill her hollow heart?
Hal Williams has always been in love with Gertie. From the time they were children, until well into their adult lives, he always knew she was the one for him. He always put those feelings away as one-sided though, burying and ignoring them as best he could. Now, with fate bringing them together in the most desperate of times and Gertie living in his house, he’s forced to confront those emotions head-on. In the midst of his own turmoil, can he help her heal from the scars encasing her, both her body and her heart?
Even in darkness, hope can rise like a phoenix from the ashes of a shattered life...
Gertie and Hal are left to grapple with more complications than just the intrigue and mystery of the fire though. They will need to face their own hearts, and then one another. Can a delicate love, kindled by the strings of fate, survive the embers of the flames that swallowed Gertie’s past? Or will the ghosts between them keep them apart forever?
