Mia hadn’t been home in eleven years other than for a night or two. She had sworn she would never return to her home in Montana but here she was at the house her great grandfather had built. She intended to stay for a month if not longer as she had a script she had a deadline on. Sadie was there and asked her if she was she wanted to spend the night at Sadie’s house as she had been Sarah’s friend when they were in HS. It had been a year since anyone had been in the house. Mia’s parents had died the summer before and Mia had to decide what to do with the house. But she really came her to work out some writer's block as she had a script due to her editor in less than a month. Mia had been raped thirteen years ago when she was walking home from the bus stop after school she had been sixteen years old. Mia had agreed to do a fiction take on that episode of her life. The man who had attacked Mia remained free and anonymous . Mia had told no one of the attack not even Sadie. Sadie’s husband Hank had started up a new security business. bear/Tate had been injured while in the service and been given a medical discharge from the Army. Swede had also been injured and they had met at therapy and they had become friends. When Hank started his business Swede had recommended Bear. bear immediately went to Montana but the business had just started and the business had finished a job and was waiting for another. Mia had been at the house that night and someone had broken in her door she ran to Sadie’s and Bear had agreed to become her bodyguard under the guise of a handyman to help her fix up the house. Hank had agreed to start looking into the rape as Mia finally told Sadie about it .
This was a very intense but excellent story. Not terribly long but had everything it needed to make it an excellent read. A lot of action in this and plenty of pain and fear but also determination.Also the healing of a broken woman is included. I loved all the characters especially Bear and Mia and all the twists and turns they had went through. I highly recommend.
I received an ARC of this story for an honest review.
