Man Before You
Grand
Mesa Men Prequel
by
Shalana Battles
Genre:
Adult Contemporary Romance
Time
may not actually heal all wounds, but love just might.
Eloise's
husband was dead and she wished she were too. She quit going to work,
refused to answer her phone or her front door, and shut out the
people who cared about her. She felt imprisoned by her tainted
memories, but couldn't escape her own home or recliner, because she
had to focus on breathing.
Six
days after she buried her husband, Jack pounded on Eloise's door.
Jack, a man she hadn't seen or spoken to in over a decade. Jack, the
only man including her husband, who Eloise felt truly knew
her.
Jack's
life hadn't been without its fair share of loss. Breaking contact
after Eloise's marriage had seemed the best thing for them, but
regret tortured Jack when Eloise swung open her door and he saw the
shell of the woman he once loved.
Eloise
pushed Jack away ten years ago and never expected him to come back
into her life. She hated herself for wanting Jack to stay, but she
couldn't help but remember the love they once shared and the life
that they could've had—or the life they could have now.
The
longer Jack stayed, the more he realized Eloise blamed herself for
not being there when her husband died. Jack wanted a second chance,
but Eloise didn't think she deserved one. Eloise wanted to find
herself, but wasn't sure she could while dealing with grief, Jack's
deployments, PTSD, and a universe that seemed determined to keep them
apart.
