Modern wallflower and French teacher Trace is ready to let her frizzy red hair down—literally. To not keep wearing the happy face that can fool everyone in the small town of Foothills, Washington.
Everyone except her former foster brother.
Mercenary, antihero, Cole has spent the last decade running. Wounded after an op gone wrong, he comes home, and the meet-cute isn’t so cute, when she bashes him on the head with the bathroom door by accident. After his shower. And laughs.
He probably shouldn’t tell her he’s not only had a crush on her since they were in high school, or that he used the idea of her to survive.
Whether it’s a sinuous flow down a lazy river or evil bad dudes hot on heels, Carrie Thorne’s romance novels will draw you in and ruin your sleep. Carrie is best known for writing white hot chemistry, witty banter, and healthy relationships.
She’s also an introvert who loves travel, fitness, food, and is a Pacific Northwesterner who lives for rain and trees and mountains and ocean, and… she’s a total dork. At home, she has two creative and confident kids, a witty veteran husband, and a wee pup. Carrie has been a nurse practitioner, a geologist, a banker, and she is usually elbow-deep in a DIY project in which she bit off more than she could chew.
Where is she now? Depends on the weather. Cozied up by the fire with a steaming mug of black coffee, or stretched out on the hammock in the shade of her forest. Either way, she’s working on the next great love story to conquer your TBR list.
