Two people find love in the embers of their painful pasts in this slow-burn romance from Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Winter Renshaw. For me, family is a curse. My father and brother made my life hell. My mother's untimely death still keeps me up at night. Now that my brother, Donovan, has been killed in an accident, I can forget the past. The last remnant is the childhood home I've inherited--and which I intend to burn to the ground. The only obstacle? Anneliese Nielsen, Donovan's fianc�e. Donovan left her destitute, and selling this run-down house is her only chance to recoup her losses. I shouldn't care, but...maybe it's her eyes when she sees me. I look strikingly like my brother, a man she loved despite everything. So we strike a deal. We'll renovate the house together, but she'll have to convince me to sell--or up in flames it goes. But the more time we spend in the house, the more its terrible history threatens to come out. And even more dangerous, the harder I start to fall for Anneliese.

I really enjoyed this book. I found it to be the type of romance that I could just sit back, relax and let the story unfold.
Anneliese had some serious recovering to do, not only because of the death of her fiancee but because of the lies that were revealed afterwards. I was expecting her to have felt cracks in her relationship with him prior to his death and the fact that she did not made it hard for me to accept her relationship with Lachlan. She was an interesting heroine with an unusual career and the type of personality I connected with.
Lachlan was pretty laid back, despite his background and his intentions towards the house. His reasons were kept secret through most of the book and I completely understood them once they were revealed. I loved his meeting and following visit with AnnelieseÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s father.
While Anneliese and Lachlan both had issues to deal with, the angst level never felt heavy until the end when they faced their greatest struggle. This was a slow burn and even when things ignited between them we had just a peek before the door was closed. The epilogue was great and I was very pleased with the way this coupleÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s story came to an end.
