💔 WHERE YOU FOUND ME
Book Two of the Birch Harbor Series. Can be read as a standalone but best enjoyed after Book One - Where You Left Me (Flynn & Ivy) 🤍
Brother's best friend · Second chance · Forced proximity
Gracie Donovan spent half her life loving Owen Hale.
Her brother's best friend. The boy at the kitchen counter. The man who kissed her like he meant it and told her it meant nothing.
Twice.
So she did what you do when you're tired of loving someone who won't love you back.
She found someone who would.
George is good. Safe. The kind of man who shows up with flowers and means it. Five years of easy and comfortable and nothing wrong.
Nothing wrong is the problem.
Owen Hale owns a bar, pours everyone else's drinks, and would rather break bones than ask anyone for help.
Which is exactly what happens.
Now he's broken and Gracie's keeping his bar alive and sitting in his office at midnight doing his books and everything they never said is louder than anything they did.
She's got a ring on her finger and a wedding getting closer and a man who chose her when Owen wouldn't.
He's got a bar and a secret he told his best friend on a floor at 1AM and a body that gave out before his pride did.
Gracie Donovan already chose Owen Hale. Twice. He said nothing both times.
She's done choosing.
Is Owen finally ready to talk?

a Fragile Kind of Brave
FREQUENTLY UPDATED "You'd be surprised what people can endure when it's all they've ever known." Beck's voice was quiet, distant. I focused my eyes on a lone ember dying just outside the fire. "Tragic shit happens around us every day, to adults and to children. The fact that we try to brush it all under the rug - to pretend it doesn't happen... That's the bigger tragedy. To let those affected suffer in silence, instead of reaching out a hand - lending an ear," I whispered, and our little group grew quiet for a bit. "What if those affected are just trying to get through to tomorrow?" Beck said thoughtfully. I eyed him as I waited for him to continue. His brown waves fell in his amber eyes. "Maybe they don't want to talk about it. Maybe they're tired of thinking about it and just want to forget and move on to the next thing in life." His voice was casual as he shrugged, but his faraway eyes gave me the impression that he was speaking from experience. "I think," I paused, and he met my eyes. "Compartmentalizing works for a bit. Though, in the long run, it's only going to leave them in a much worse place mentally. It'll eat you alive, letting it fester so long. Even if the abused and damaged think they're getting through by shoving it down, saving it for the 'later' that never comes... They're really just turning themselves into a ticking time bomb." "Does that work for you?" He asked, and my eyes flickered back up to his. "Talking about it?" "What makes you think I've experienced such tragedy in my 17 years?" I responded quietly, the energy between us charged. "Maybe I was just curious." I offered. Beck stared back at me in disbelief, smoke pouring out of his mouth and curving up into a cloud around his eyes. How did he have me read so well, so quickly? a Fragile Kind of Brave, a Dark Romance that touches on attachment styles and trauma bonds. Reader's discretion advised.
