Is it really possible to start over in life when mistakes from the past continue to haunt? This heartwarming story of a second chance for love, both for Lydia and her widowed aunt who has reluctantly taken her in, grabs the reader from the first page.

A bonfire is lit when she moves to her aunt's lake house in rural Georgia in need of a fresh start. There she meets mysterious backpacker, Mike Rodgers, seeking shelter from a storm. As lightning flashes, so does their chemistry. A man is the last thing Lydia needs in her life, but working alongside Mike to renovate an old guest cabin, the two are drawn together with an irresistible pull.

In the woods nearby, someone is watching, and waiting! When she realizes that her past has caught up with her, Lydia knows she has to run again, even if it means losing Mike! But can she get away in time?

I have had this book on my kindle for over 6 months, and because of a challenge I am going back and reading books that I have had for a long time and not read, they also need to be by a author I have not read before. This was my first book by Desiree Douglas, I really enjoy suspense/thrillers and romances and this was a combination of both. Lydia has had a pretty rough life growing up and getting involved with the wrong man. She tends to be very naïve, and that leads to her getting herself into trouble. Having received this book sometime as a free book either from Amazon, or one of the other sites that you can receive books from I wasn't really sure what to expect, yet I was pleasantly surprised. The book was very well written, I enjoyed the characters in the story. I found it to be a quick read, and very entertaining. I will definitely read more books by this author and would recommend this book to my friends.

Romance and some suspense. Wonderful read! Clean. Story of a young lady, Lydia, starting over. She goes to her Aunt Vivian's cabin by the lake. Vivian is more of a mother to Lydia than her real mom, Katie, who has another daughter who she treats well while mistreating Lydia, sadly. Mike Rogers is taking a break from his life to. He's walking, ends up at Aunt Vi's also. She has another cabin she let's Mike stay in. Mike found Dog. Dog loves laying around on the porch. Other things come into play to of course! I love all 4 of these characters! Oh, yeah! Can't forget about Dugger! Well worth the read! This is my 1st book by this author and it will not be the last! Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Had potential, but it was too rushed
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2017

This is primarily a story about Mike--a man who appears to be a vagrant--and Lydia--a woman trying to start over in life. The book hastily covered several subplots, which could have stood alone in a four-part series: 1) a book about Rocco (Lydia's first love) & their meeting, relationship and demise; 2) a book about Mike and his siblings' quest to gain control of the family business; 3) a book about Lydia's aunt Vivian and her first husband; and finally 4) a book about Mike and Lydia. Instead, these stories were all combined and rushed. It felt like we got the Cliff notes version of all the major storylines. We didn't even get to experience the culmination of Mike and Lydia's relationship (I don't want to give anything away.) This is a real shame as each subplot was too interesting to be glossed over as it was.

The romance was clean, but unsatisfying. There was no profanity, thank goodness. There were no scriptures. There were only a few mentions of God. If this was Christian romantic suspense, it was very light on the first two counts.

This book is a bit of a slow burner until the last 10% when suddenly everything seems to happen at once and all the loose ends get tied up. The sudden dramatic change in pace is my reason for a medium rating. Shame as this had potential for this genre of clean romance.
