title: To Forgive & Hold Safe
author: Decevito, Carey
description: Loss, pain, guiltâ€¦ The lone survivor of a terrible night, where fate was so unkind, Ben Carpenter has resolved himself to a life of loneliness. After all, love has made him aware of only one thing â€“ overwhelming misery â€“ and heâ€™d never go down that road again. Submersing himself into running Fairfax and his side gig as a volunteer firefighter, he is shocked when envy suddenly takes hold as his best friend marries the love of his life. But before he can deal with the idea of reopening his heart to love, tragedy strikes againâ€¦ just not for him. As secrets of his wifeâ€™s betrayal come to light, Ben is faced with a new reality; and an opportunity to heal stares him straight in the face, in the form of Hannah. Bonded by their similar losses, he begins to wonderâ€¦ Is there really such a thing as second chances?
