Beautiful Salvation: a love story

★★★★★ “It’s a beautiful duet. It really is, and I could not recommend it more highly.” (Goodreads)

I didn’t expect him to change everything. Nick Peterson walked into my life by mistake and turned it upside down in the most unexpected, beautiful way. I was finally getting my life back on track, finding comfort in the small rhythms of Green Mountain. I wasn’t looking for love. I wasn’t looking for anything.

But then there was Nick, with that quiet pain in his eyes, and a tenderness I never saw coming. He’s the first man to truly see me, and the first to make me feel like I could still be wanted… still be whole. But love like this doesn’t come without scars. And Nick’s are deeper than I realized.

When tragedy strikes again, he turns to me. And I want to be the one who holds him up, who helps him heal. But I’ve broken before too, and I’m terrified of falling apart all over again.

We never planned for this.

We didn’t expect the late nights, the soft touches, the way our pasts made room for something new.

But here we are—two people trying to find something real in the wreckage of what we lost.

Now I have to ask myself the hardest question: Can I trust this love? Can I trust him enough to believe he won’t run when things get hard?

Because this man has become my salvation... and losing him might just break me for good.
