Emma has a tragic past. Her father passed away when she was little, her mother married a second time to a jerk, and she recently died as well. The stepfather was immensely cruel to Emma when she was a teenager. Emma wants to start over, post-college, with a new town, apartment, and job. She cuts her family off, but her stepfather won’t let go of her that easily.As soon as she moves in, she meets David. He’s a carpenter who’s in her apartment to fix her cabinets. The back-and-forth between them is enjoyable, the initial tension smooths over to romance, and the heat between them is undeniable. She and David begin an intense relationship that points to love and something long-term. He protects her against her stepfather, who stalks her. He’s strong, sensitive, and sensual. The two of them are capable of healing each other…but he has a crazy past. David has six ex-girlfriends who disappeared under strange and mysterious circumstances.From the romance to the insane pasts of both characters, this novel was addictively readable and suspenseful. It’s such a unique love story considering what David is hiding and I didn’t want the story to end. I read this via NetGalley, courtesy of the publisher.
