Past Forever

Blurb

Serenity Serrano is weighed down by unprocessed childhood trauma, misinterpreting love and safety in all her relationships. When she does take the leap to start therapy, she doesn’t expect her first step toward healing to come in the form of a man she meets in her therapist’s waiting room. The lingering thoughts of self-doubt urge her to focus on healing instead of risking her heart again. When her buried memories resurface, she must decide if a chance at love is a risk to her healing or the key to it. 

Grant West is consumed by grief, with his focus spent on working, training, and avoiding his emotions. His weekly therapy sessions are the one constant keeping him grounded with the hope of piecing the family he has left back together. However, he didn’t anticipate being lured in by the woman with the sad eyes in his therapist’s waiting room. Once a hopeless romantic, he wonders if returning to his roots will finally push him to confront the tragedy he continues to keep buried.

Can love be healing?
