A Lantern in the Dark

By: Reynolds, Stacey

When nightmares followed him home, she became his refuge...

Aidan O'Brien is a decorated soldier with four combat tours and is now home, tormented by survivor's guilt after one particularly horrific day in Afghanistan. He's sworn he'll never marry, never put a woman or children through military life. Then Alanna Falk moves into the cottage next door. She's a brilliant psychologist specializing in PTSD, and his carefully constructed walls begin to crumble.

Alanna fled to the beach house seeking refuge from a stalker who won't let her go. The handgun in her desk drawer and the Louisville Slugger by her door are constant reminders of why she needs to disappear. She isn't prepared for her charming new Irish neighbor with vivid green eyes to destabilize everything she's rebuilt. When Aidan shows up unannounced on her deck, sparks fly between them.

As their connection ignites, these two wounded souls discover they might be exactly what the other needs. But when Aidan's demons resurface and Alanna's carefully guarded past becomes a very real danger, they'll discover if love is enough to break through the walls that have kept them safe for so long.

A sweeping coastal romance, perfect for fans of Jean Grainger and Tricia O'Malley.
