Synopsis
Be brave. Just for sixty seconds. Twenty breaths.
It took every ounce of my courage to return to the small town I fled all those years ago. But I should’ve known he’d hate me. How could he not when my father’s blood still runs through my veins?
Yet here I am, desperate for a chance to make things right. Even if it means facing the family my father almost destroyed and the boy with the dark eyes—now grown—who still haunts my dreams.
I never expected just how explosive things would turn between us. He’s the last person I should want. Yet, somehow, I keep drawing closer—so close I know I’ll end up burned.
But Hayes is a good man, a noble one. Someone who channeled his pain into a career spent protecting those around him. So, when the threats begin, he steps in to keep me safe. And we discover that maybe neither of us knew the other at all.
As the sparks between us ignite into something deeper, someone watches. And they’ll do anything to tear it all apart…

Review
Tattered Stars was my first Catherine Cowles book, but it will not be my last. Great story, wonderful characters, and enough steam to keep things interesting.
I loved the relationship between Everly and Hayes and seeing that evolve, but I also loved the mystery. Everly and Hayes had such great chemistry; I loved all of their interactions. And while I could have read a whole book just about these two, I enjoyed the mystery element. Not only did it keep me turning the pages, but it helped bring Hayes and Everly together.
I also loved all of the side characters, especially knowing that many of them get their own books! I really enjoyed this small-town romance and can’t wait to read more!
