Show Me the Way - TC Matson

TC Matson brings us an all new small town, grumpy sunshine standalone love story.

"When I look at you, I see someone whose storm made them bend, but never break. When I look at me, I am the storm."

Morgan
Eight years of marriage and a beautiful son didn't stop my husband from walking out on us.
He got the house, all the money, and a girlfriend.
I got the SUV, a few boxes of things, and our son.
I'm starting over and it's terrifying.
A new town. A new job. A new home.
My goal is to care for my son and give him a semblance of normality while I pick up my broken pieces and mend my shattered self-esteem.
The last thing I expected was for my tattoo-covered landlord to nestle his way into my heart.
He's broody and quiet, all grunts and head nods.
Letting him close means opening myself back up to the potential of getting hurt.
I've got my son to think about.
So why do I lie in bed at night thinking of him ?

Callen
My demons haunt me. They run through my veins.
I accepted long ago that my life will never have a happy ending.
My gray world will never have any color.
Until her.
The strong, single mother with eyes the color of sapphire gems.
All the colors in her world shine a light into my damaged and broken soul.
But I'm incapable of giving her love and affection—all the things she deserves.
My secrets will have her running away.
However, that doesn't stop me from wanting to stain her world with my darkness.
Taint it with gray.
Little do I know, she's the very air I didn't know I needed.

Author's Note: A recently divorced single mother meets a grumpy, broody, tattooed man with a damaged soul who doesn't believe in happy ever afters. This is a story about finding love after trauma.

Show Me the Way is a steamy, page-turning, emotional roller coaster that will tug at your heart, make you grab the tissues while delivering an HEA!
