The Bond That Built Us

By J.L. Hart

A broken-down car.

A chance reunion.

And a man determined to prove not all love ends in heartbreak.

After years of grief, toxic relationships, and carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, Abby Rossi has stopped believing in happily ever afters. But when rugged construction company owner Caleb Hayes crashes into her life, literally in the middle of a thunderstorm, he begins tearing down every wall she's worked so hard to build.

Caleb knows one thing immediately: Abby is different.

What starts with a rescue on the side of the road turns into stolen glances, late-night comfort, chaotic family dinners, and a connection too powerful to ignore. But when life tests them in ways neither expected, Abby must decide if she's brave enough to trust the kind of love that stays.

A heartwarming small-town romance about healing, family, and finding home in the person you least expected.
