When Deacon saved Charlie from a roaring fire, he'd never been so heavily impacted by someone. Which was why he decided to get as far away from her as possible.
He was successful, until she showed up on his doorstep seven years later...
Deacon Calhoun prefers to be alone. Military veteran and ex-firefighter, his demons lured him into darkness and that's where he likes to stay.
It's easier. Being numb. Not feeling. Keeping his walls built high with no chance of intrusion.
That is until Charlie Banks finds her way to Pebble Brook Falls to rent his cabin for the winter.
Charlie is the embodiment of sunshine. She's everything Deacon tries to avoid until a burst pipe and a record breaking snow storm forces him to open his home to her. Where there's only one bed. And he can't escape her presence.
She's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen-inside and out. And it pisses him off.
He refuses to let his walls fall until her light finally warms his icy exterior.
But as soon as he lets her into his heart, he knows it was a mistake.
Because everyone he loves always gets hurt. And he doesn't know if he is too late to save her this time.
When You Saved Me is the third Pebble Brook Falls novel. It has a guaranteed happily ever after and is a complete standalone.
