How do you let go of pain when you have
experienced the worst? Emelyn Pier thought the worst happened on that fateful
day. Unable to stay where her memories haunt her, she moves in with her aunt in
Carlsbad, California. Her only hope was to start over somewhere new where she
can raise her son and get her college degree. What Emelyn didn’t expect was to
meet the one person who may be able to help her heal. Just when she thinks
she's ready to take a chance on love, her past collides with her hopeful
future.
What happens when tragedy strikes again?
Will Emelyn be able to cope this time, or
will she run again?
Alex Montgomery didn’t know buying an old
Bar and Grill would lead him to the person he is meant to spend forever with
nor did he plan on her being so emotionally unavailable. Will Alex stick around
when things get too rough and be the one person she can count on, or will he
let her pain and fear drive him away.
Can love alone heal a broken heart when it
feels it's shattered beyond repair? Or can the unexpected change everything?

“Hey there little guy, my name is Micah.
I’m your dad.”
Corbin doesn’t know what a dad is, never
having one. But being the outgoing little boy that he is, he sticks his
little chubby hand out to Micah, who extends his much larger one and they
shakes hands. Father and son, shaking hands and touching for the first
time. Micah looks up at me with a beautiful smile. One full of pure
happiness and love. I can see his eyes getting misty as he takes in his
son for the first time. I feel a smidge of regret that he doesn’t know
about Gavin yet or that he wasn’t included from the start. I
couldn’t imagine meeting my kid for the first time after more than two years. I
wonder if Micah sees how similar they are looking at Corbin, I’m still seeing
things that Micah does that remind me of Corbin. My own eyes tearing up
at such a beautiful first meeting between two people.
After shaking his hand, Corbin turns to me
and says, “Wets go.”
I smile down at him. “Lead the way, Cor.”
He takes off running straight for the playground just ahead of us. I look over
to Micah, still with a smile. ”He is full of energy,” I laugh lightly.
“He is pretty amazing.” He looks over to me
his happiness radiating off of him. “I never thought I would fall in love at
first sight, but I’m pretty sure that is what happened back there.”
I nod my head in full agreement. “It is an
incredible feeling.”
We play on the slides and swings for a
little while before I decide I’m comfortable with the two of them alone
together and can head to the tree to get some studying done. “Hey if you are
comfortable, I’ll head over. I’ll just be twenty feet away so if you need me
just yell my name,” I say to Micah, who nods his head in agreement while I bend
down to talk to Corbin.
“Hey buddy. I’m going to go over there to
do some school work. I won’t be far. Micah is going to play with you,” I say
then kiss his forehead.
“Otay Mama,” he replies before taking off
for the stairs that lead to the biggest slide.
My emotions are torn. I’m happy he seems to
be comfortable with Micah but he didn’t put up a fight at all over me leaving.
“Have fun boys!” I yell as I make my over to the tree.
I sit and watch them play more than I study
or do any school work. It’s effortless between them, like they have known each
other since the beginning. I can see them laughing with each other and wonder
what could be so funny. I didn’t know how it was going to go today but so far
it has far exceeded what I could have ever thought. Micah seems to have grown
up from that twenty-one-year-old kid I met years ago. I didn’t really know him
then, and am just getting to know him now.
I’m interrupted by the ding coming from my
purse.
Alex – I miss you, Emelyn.
