Part of Thunder Point, book 3
First published 2013
Devon McAllister grabs her daughter and runs from a situation that should have offered safety but delivered danger instead. She drives toward an uncertain future, knowing only that anywhere else must be better than where they came from. Devon wants nothing more than to disappear completely. But an unexpected helping hand guides her to Thunder Point, a small Oregon town where residents actually care about strangers in trouble. Spencer Lawson understands what it means to need support. As a widowed father raising a vulnerable young son, he has learned to value friendship above all else. He pours his energy into coaching Thunder Point's high school football team, pushing his players hard during practice while showing gentleness away from the field. Spencer isn't seeking romance, but Devon's arrival changes everything. In this tiny coastal community, Devon discovers that hiding from life isn't always the answer. Sometimes the bravery you need appears in the most unlikely places, and sometimes you find exactly the hero your wounded heart requires.
