Fall in love with Cole Braden in the Bradens of Peaceful Harbor. Hot, sexy, & wickedly naughty second cousins to the Weston, Colorado Bradens we know and love.
Annalise “Leesa” Avalon never realized that one sentence could change her life until one of her students revealed his crush—and within twenty-four hours she finds herself under fire. After a grueling investigation that turns her life upside down, she steals away to Peaceful Harbor, Maryland, with a new identity to try to pull herself back together and figure out her next step.
From the outside, Cole Braden lives a charmed life. He’s a top orthopedic surgeon with a thriving practice, strong family ties, and friends he adores. But there’s a lonely spot inside Cole that no one can see. He has an enormous heart—and a painful past—but the desire to love and be loved is too strong to ignore.
A chance encounter brings Leesa and Cole together, and the attraction is immediate and intense. But a relationship is the last thing Leesa needs—and the only thing Cole wants. Long talks, heated moments, and deep connections are hard to resist, but the harder Cole tries, the more Leesa pulls away. Cole might truly be the right man for Leesa, but is Leesa the right woman for him?
Thank you to Lisa at Tasty Book tours for letting me take part in this tour. The Braden’s took a special place in my heart a long time ago, so I couldn’t miss out on Cole’s story.
Cole is a well respected orthopedic surgeon. He has his own practice with his partner Jon and when he’s not working he’s spending time with his siblings and parents. Cole has been hurt before and ever since he’s been cautious with his heart.
Leesa has just moved to Peaceful Harbour. She’s had her life turned upside down and torn apart. The last thing she wants in her life is a man. That is until she takes Coles breakfast and coffee one morning.
The connection between Cole and Leesa is instant and neither of them can get the other out of their head.
As always Melissa tugged at my heart strings with this book. I can’t wait for the rest of the Braden’s at Peaceful Harbour books.
