New Beginnings — Claire Dalton

Dan never wanted a tenant for the rundown cottage near his isolated home in wild and wonderful Cornwall. So how come he finds himself living next door to a beautiful young woman who stirs feelings in him he thought he'd buried years ago...
Rowena simply wants somewhere safe for herself and her young son to start a new life. Her handsome new neighbor can be as aloof as he wants â€" she doesn't need anyone's help, and she has no intention of allowing a man to hurt her again. Ever.
But as spring turns into summer, Rowena finds herself drawn to her self-contained but completely gorgeous landlord. Can she and little Jamie melt the ice around Dan's wounded heart, or will the past always haunt two people almost too afraid to love again?
