Five years. In five years, Jack's wife left him, his partner was killed, and he was all alone to take care of his daughter. After five years, Jack Marshall had enough. Uprooting their lives, he and his daughter head to the small town of Lavender, a scene much different from the hectic city life of Detroit. He's hired on as a Sheriff's deputy, lives in a little two-bedroom apartment, and even adopts a tabby called Ollie. He finally gets a chance to breathe. Years following the death of his partner, though, Jack struggles to cope and it begins to affect his job. He takes it upon himself to seek help, for his and his daughter's sake. At the suggestion of a therapist, he signs up for an art class and it's there that life throws him another curveball. That curveball's name is Kayleigh Homer, the art teacher. ***Warning This book contains adult themes such as cursing, trauma, and mental health issues like PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
