This new first-person rewrite brings you closer than ever to Tess and Ryan—more intimate, more vulnerable, and tangled in secrets neither of them is ready to confront. You’ll feel every spark of attraction, every hard-won moment of trust, and every devastating turn as Tess risks losing the one man who makes her believe in love again.
​
Some hearts recognize each other—even when they’re both still broken.

When Ryan Prescott sets foot inside the struggling Rosewood Register, he immediately senses that the newspaper isn’t the only thing falling apart. Beneath Tess Browning’s bold personality and flirtatious confidence lies a woman as wounded by love as he is. Her pain calls to something inside him, and from the moment they meet, staying away from her is no longer an option.

Between stolen moments in the hardware store and quiet afternoons beside a trout pond, their undeniable attraction deepens into something neither of them expected. Together, they begin building a relationship from the wreckage of their pasts—one teasing exchange, lingering touch, and fragile confession at a time.

But Tess is hiding more than a broken heart.

During a weekend camping trip, one careless slip exposes a crack in the carefully constructed story she’s told Ryan. Suddenly, the woman he’s falling for is also the woman who could shatter the trust he has fought so hard to rebuild.

As Ryan searches for the truth, Tess must decide whether to confess the secret that could cost her everything—or continue hiding from the past until it destroys their future.

TRUSTING LOVE is an emotional, passionate romance about two damaged hearts, one devastating secret, and the terrifying risk of trusting someone enough to love them.

Excerpt
I stare at the top of the tent for another second, trying to make sense of how completely my life shifted in a matter of weeks. One minute Tess and I were looking at hand tools and paint swatches together, and now I can’t picture waking up without her tucked against my side.

I don’t know how something this important crashed into my life so quickly, but lying here with Tess tangled against me, I can’t bring myself to regret a single second of it.

But when I glance down, my chest tightens. Because I catch the shine of tears gathering in her eyes. “Hey.” I push up onto one elbow, brushing my fingers gently along her cheek. “Talk to me. What’s wrong?”

She shakes her head, but her fingers slide along my jaw like she needs to touch me to steady herself. “This happened really fast, didn’t it?” she whispers.

And I almost laugh. Because yeah. That’s one way to put it. I catch her hand and press a kiss into her palm. “Yeah,” I admit softly. “It did.”

“One minute we’re strolling through a hardware store,” she says with a watery laugh, “and the next we’re sleeping together beneath the stars.”

My stomach knots. Because when she says it out loud like that, it should sound reckless. Too fast. Maybe even stupid. But instead, all I can think about is every smile she’s given me. Every sarcastic comment. Every accidental touch. Every single moment she bulldozed through my defenses without even trying. Because nothing about this feels temporary to me. No matter how fast it all happened.

“It may have happened fast,” I tell her, brushing my thumb beneath her eye, “but that doesn’t make it any less real for me.”

A tear slips free, rolling down her cheek before disappearing into the blankets between us. “It’s real for me, too, Ryan,” she whispers. “Maybe too real.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I ask softly.

Tess lets out a quiet laugh, but there’s no real humor in it. “Like… when does the other shoe drop?” She shrugs. “When does the honeymoon end? When does the bubble burst?”

My heart aches at her words. Because I know that feeling. I know exactly what it’s like to wait for happiness to disappear the second you finally let yourself trust it.

You really have been hurt just as badly as I have, haven’t you?

I sit up slowly and reach toward the corner of the tent where her sandals sit abandoned beside the blankets.

“What are you doing?” she asks with a sniffle.

I grab one of her impractical shoes and press it dramatically against my chest. “I promise I won’t drop it.” Then I grab the second sandal and place it carefully in her hands before guiding it against her chest, too. “If you won’t.”

Her laugh breaks through the heaviness between us, soft and watery and beautiful enough to completely wreck me. And God, I’d do just about anything to keep hearing that sound.

A blonde curl falls across her face, and I reach out to tuck it behind her ear. And the second my fingers brush her skin, inspiration sparks warm down my spine. Maybe because the truth is, I don’t want this weekend to end. I don’t want real life back yet. So, I open my mouth. “How about another adventure this morning?” I ask.

She raises a brow. “Clothes on or off?”

A grin pulls at my mouth before I lean down and press a kiss against her forehead. “That,” I say, “will be entirely your choice.”

Blurb:
For Adriane Graham, the real question comes down to whether she’s Alec Kaden’s guest or prisoner…

If she’s a guest, then that means Alec freed himself from his family ties to organized crime and that he’s telling the truth when he says he’s protecting Adriane from dangerous men. It means they both can shake off the shackles of haunted pasts and begin anew together.

If she’s his guest, then Adriane Graham is no longer alone. She’s safe. And maybe…just maybe…she can finally find the strength to love.

But…

If Adriane is Alec’s prisoner, that changes everything.

It means his tenderness is simply a ruse to keep her under control; his kindness is just poisoned hypocrisy. It means Alec is a cruel liar, and that somehow, by some desperate way, she’s got to get out of this charming man’s well-guarded house…before it’s too late.
​
Troubling questions pour like fountains through Adriane’s heart…flowing…
Endless as the Rain.

She thought chemistry only existed on the page, then he set her world on fire.

The only men in Lucy’s life are fictional. Which is fine. So fine. At thirty, she is happy with her life. She has a ride or die best friend. A cute little ginger cat to snuggle with. And an apartment full of books. What more could she possibly want? Well, before Jack Jones swaggered into town, with his designer suits and British accent, the answer was nothing. But now, here he is, showing up where she works, calling her beautiful and making her question everything.

Jack Jones had it all. High-powered job in the city. Fancy apartment. Women offering to warm his bed every night. Then he blew up his life. Now, he’s in small town Wyoming, doing damage control while babysitting his sister’s kids. There is one silver lining though… Lucy Mills. He felt a spark during his first visit to Woodvalley Pines, when he’d shamelessly flirted with her at the diner where she worked. Three years on, she’s somehow even harder to ignore. She’s everything he’s been searching for. If only she’d just let him in.

Return to Woodvalley Pines one last time with this swoon-worthy opposites attract romance packed full of chemistry, charm and Isobel Reed’s signature witty banter. Burnout is perfect for fans of Book Lovers by Emily Henry and The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary. Whether you’ve already devoured the other books in the Love Burns Series or are enjoying it as a standalone, you won’t want to miss this final book.

About the author:
Isobel was born and raised in London. While she’s a city girl at heart, she loves daydreaming about running away to a charming small town—though she’s not entirely sure her husband and son would share her enthusiasm for the move. When she’s not writing small-town romantic comedies or growing unhealthily attached to the characters in her books, you can find her reading, chasing after her very active toddler, or attempting to channel her inner domestic goddess in the kitchen (with varying degrees of success).
​
Known for her witty dialogue and swoon-worthy small-town heroes, Isobel signed with Inkspell Publishing in 2021. The following year, she released Love Tools, the first book in her four-book Bluestone Series. In early 2024, she launched Toasted, the debut novel of her seven-book Love Burns Series.
