GIVE HER TIME

Lily
One would think a nomadic life would be peaceful drifting from place to place, hiking scenic trails across the western U.S. But no matter how far I go, I can’t outrun the event that drove me from my hometown in Mississippi.

Now, in Pinebrook, California, tucked just outside Yosemite National Park, I cling to the hope that fresh air and distance might finally quiet the monstrous narrative in my mind.

Content to keep to myself, I take a temporary job with a plan to disappear in six months—no attachments. Then a freak accident puts me on his radar. Noah Sullivan is too kind. Too observant. And far too interested in my current living conditions.

What he offers is insane, but he might be the only thing standing between me and the nightmare I thought I’d left behind.

Noah
I’ve lived in Pinebrook most of my life—working for the National Park Service and living with my canine partner in a cabin deep in Yosemite. It’s quiet. Predictable.

But my mother is dying.
She’s deteriorating quickly, refuses help, and the guilt of not being able to save her the way I want to—the way I should—gnaws at me.

There isn’t much that can distract me from the routine I’ve built around keeping it all together.
Until Lily Parker.
She’s rude, sarcastic, and the exact opposite of the type of person I’d normally let into my life, let alone fall for. But she’s hurting, homeless, and I can’t walk away.

I know what it costs to make the wrong call. I made that mistake once before, back when I was young, and now I’m paying for it.

I’ll break my rules for her.
But walking away from her?
That might destroy me.

Give Her Time is a slow burn, contemporary romance novel with a fade-to-black/low spice romance. While this can be enjoyed as a standalone, reading Debt of My Soul beforehand can enhance your reading experience. Please see the author’s website for TW/CW.
