From Penguin:
In this emotional and sexy New Adult debut from Brighton Walsh, the only thing more frightening than commitment is hope…
Aspiring chef Cade Maxwell is immediately, viscerally attracted to Winter Jacobson. But it’s not her mouthwatering curves he’s drawn to—it’s the strange emptiness in her eyes. When Cade saves her from a drunken customer with grabby hands, he’s shocked at her response…
Winter doesn’t need Cade’s help. After a lifetime of getting by on her own, she’s happy to rely on herself. She’s exactly seventy-six days away from graduating college, and if she can hold it together that long, she’ll finally be able to rise above the crappy hand she was dealt.
But now, every time she turns around, Cade is there, ready to push her, smile at her, distract her from her plans. Winter knows she can’t afford to open up—especially to a man she’s terrified to actually want…
Big, bad Cade Maxwell with his mountainous size and tats, is a forever boy. Who woulda thought? What I love most about Cade is that he is completely open - openly thoughtful, openly caring, and openly protective of those he loves. There's no posturing with Cade.
Winter has an obsession with doing everything for herself, accepting no assistance, born from a childhood in rotten foster homes. Trust is difficult when everyone you've ever known has broken any measure of trust placed in them. For someone so hell-bent on relying solely on herself, Cade's giving and protective nature is problematic. Conflict abounds, and Winter has to face her past if she wants a future with Cade.
This was my first Brighton Walsh book and it was fantastic! I can't thank Jessica (Walsh's publicist) enough for recommending Caged and Tessa Ever After! This is new adult romance at it's finest!
