Renée

Some wounds don't heal because time passes. They heal because, little by little, life begins again. After a violent attack leaves her struggling to recognize the woman she used to be, Renée Christoph's family moved to England in hopes of leaving the past behind. But changing countries is far easier than escaping fear, grief, and the memories that refuse to let go. Then she meets Ian Callahan. With his quick wit, terrible jokes, love of literature, and unwavering kindness, Ian never asks Renée to be anyone other than herself. As their relationship slowly deepens, she begins to wonder if healing doesn't mean forgetting the past--but learning that it no longer has the final word. Yet, healing is rarely a strait path, and love alone cannot erase trauma. Together, Renée and Ian must discover whether trust, hope, and quiet perseverance are enough to build a future neither of them ever expected. A heartfelt contemporary romance about healing, resilience, and finding home in the people who choose to stand beside us.
