Cherish Her by Andrea Johnston

My life was perfect . . . Until fate took it all away. Heartache and broken bones left me searching for solace in the darkest of places. It wasn’t pretty, but with the support of my family, I persevered and I’m stronger for it. My daughters deserve nothing less. Things were finally back on track, until I met Grant Ellison. Tall, dark, and handsome he sets my heart racing. If only the fear of loving again didn’t paralyze me. * Nobody was as surprised as me when I left a long military career for a slower pace in life. After all, I’ve never been one to make decisions lightly or without a plan. A new town means a fresh start. Although it’s a lonely existence, I don’t regret my decision. Especially when a beautiful woman catches my eye. Dakota Jennings’ strength and ambition are for all to see but her heart is protected by the strongest of walls. My new mission is to show her how precious she is and how great we can be together.
