Shattered Expectations — Octavia Wildwood

Running away was the best decision Amanda ever made.



She swore she would never go back to California, and why would she? Life in rural Minnesota with cowboy Nate Avery is everything she's ever wanted. On the farm, she has it all: stability, routine, safety and the love of a good man. It's simple, but it's all she needs.



Then Amanda's little brother calls in a panic begging for her help. Duty calls, and she has no choice but to reluctantly return to the life she thought she'd left behind forever. Facing her past is a horrifying prospect. And having Nate by her side doesn't make her feel any better. Actually, it only adds to her mounting anxiety.



Somehow, Amanda needs to keep her secrets from the love of her life. He's a patient, understanding man, but she is nonetheless terrified that when Nate learns the truth about her past, it will be too much for him.



Violence, shame and betrayal threaten to confront her at every turn...can Amanda make it out of California unscathed, or will she lose everything she's come to love?
