Synopsis
Will their past determine their future?
Saint Ford has worked hard to achieve her childhood dream of becoming of nurse. Focused on her work and devoted to her patients, there’s no room for love. She doesn’t need a guy making waves in her calm, serene life—especially when he’s the unforgettable hottie who nearly destroyed her in high school. Dark, brooding Nash Donovan might not remember her or the terrible pain he caused. But he turned her world upside down . . . and now he’s trying to do it again.
Saint has no idea that Nash isn’t the cocky player he once was. Uncovering a devastating family secret has rocked his world, and now he’s struggling to figure out his future. He can’t be distracted by the pretty nurse he seems to meet everywhere. Still, he can’t ignore the sparks that fly between them —or how she seems so desperate to get away from him. But the funny, sweet, and drop-dead gorgeous Saint is far too amazing to give up on—especially since she’s the only thing in his life that seems to make sense.
When Nash discovers the truth about their past, he realizes he may have lost her heart before he could even fight for it. Now, Saint has to decide: is Nash worth risking herself for all over again?
About the Author
I'm supposed to share interesting details about myself so that my readers get to know me so here we go in no particular order: I'm an natural redhead even though I haven't seen my real hair color in years, I'm a big fan of tattoos and have a half sleeve on either arm and various other pieces all over the place, I've been in the bar industry since I was in college and it has always offered interesting insight into how men and women interact with each other, I have 3 dogs that are all crazy, I live in Colorado and love the snow, I love music and in all reality wish I could be a rock star not a writer or a bartender but I have zero talent so there is that. I love to write, love to read and all I'm interested in is a good story with interesting characters that make the reader feel something. Thanks for taking the time to check my stuff out...
It's time to fall in love with Nash and learn his story. In the forth Marked Men book, Jay Crownover takes, in my opinion, a different approach with Saint. The precious heroines were practically perfect (shaw is pretty much up there with Mary Poppins!); they were smart, beautiful, strong, confident. Saint, however, was insecure & socially awkward. Despite her achievements, she hid in bathrooms (in the New Years party scene). Something Shaw, Ayd or Cora would have never done. But I think this is why the readers love Saint, because so many of us (especially so many young girls) think less if themselves because they weren't/aren't skinny or popular. I love how Jay makes it "ok" to not be perfect and how important it is to love yourself first & foremost. If you can't, how can anyone else love you.
The gang faces a lot life changing events in book four, but they continue to come together, ink & all, pull each other through. I love how the previous main characters made appearances. Judging by the "cliff hanger", I don't think we've seen the last of Rule & Shaw!
