Two years after the man she loved was killed in Afghanistan, Morgan Bartley is trying to put the pieces of her life back together. The reno on her dilapidated beach house in the Outer Banks might be just the distraction she needs to keep her debilitating anxiety attacks at bay and begin to heal her heart...if she can ignore the ridiculously handsome guy next door.
At twenty-eight, single-dad Jackson Montgomery’s life revolves around his five-year-old daughter and his job as a search-and-rescue pilot for the coast guard. He’s no stranger to saving a damsel in distress, and though his gorgeous new neighbor is clearly in distress, she’s no damsel. She’s stubborn as hell with walls a mile thick, and the dog tags hanging from her rearview mirror give him a pretty good clue as to why.
It doesn’t matter that their attraction is undeniable—she swore she’d never fall for another pilot, let alone a military man. There are some wounds time can’t heal, and some fears too consuming to conquer.
She’s a barely breathing heartbreak on the edge of recovery.
He’s a crash waiting to happen.
Together they could have it all...if they can endure the coming storm.
Holy.Hell. I know I've been waiting and asking for Morgan's story but this killed me. The gut-wrench, tear-inducing story was more than I expected (though, I don't know why I ever expect anything less than phenomenal from Rebecca). The Flight & Glory series ended with Josh and Ember, Jagger and Paisley, Grayson and Sam with their happy endings. The series also left us all wondering...but what about Morgan? What happened after they tragically lost Will?
And so we've been gifted with Morgan's story. Two years after the accident that took her shot of happily ever after away from her, Morgan is still picking up the pieces of her shattered heart and trying to put her life back together. Dealing with crippling anxiety, she buys a run-down beach house in the Outer Banks in hopes that rebuilding it will help her in her own healing process. Of course, her new-old house is situated right next to Jackson Montgomery--devoted single-dad, happens to be gorgeous but also happens to be a search-and-rescue pilot for the coast guard. Avoid him at all costs and life is good, right? Except that she can't. Undeniably drawn to him, Morgan has to figure out how to deal with her biggest fear and if she can accept that she has indisputable feelings for someone who embodies everything she has sealed her heart from. Is a chance at happiness worth every risk her heart and mind has been screaming at her to stay away from?
