What's Left of Me - Hannah Bird (Loveless Book 2) Paperback
When the actions of one man have marked who you became, how do you get back to who you were?
It’s a question Zoey Allen has been avoiding for the better part of a decade.
The world sees her as a vivacious, take-no-shit businesswoman, and she’s nearly managed to convince herself it’s enough. That is until spontaneous and sweet Aaron Moore ignores the No Trespassing sign on her heart and starts dismantling the walls she’s built brick by brick.
But Zoey has rules for a reason. Her thought process is clear: if she never falls in love, she can’t become a victim again. So when Aaron decides he wants more than the casual relationship she’s been offering, Zoey sticks to the rules.
A threat to the business she’s worked so hard to build brings with it a chance to maintain the status quo— in the form of a rookie cop who offers the no-strings-attached relationship she thinks she wants. Yet no matter how hard she tries, forgetting Aaron is proving impossible, and her past won’t be kept at bay any longer.
For the first time in so long, she desperately wants to find a way back to that elusive peace her first boyfriend stole. To get it, she has to accept how her past has shaped her present while learning how to give her whole heart to somebody with what few pieces remain.
She starts by packing up the remains of her life and moving to a small town in Colorado to run a bar alongside her best friend. But the work still doesn't provide a sufficient distraction from the demons nipping at her heels. Estranged from the family she loves, she tries to focus on her new, tight-knit group of surprisingly accepting neighbors. That includes Chase Taylor, a charismatic outdoorsman she fails to keep at a distance despite her best intentions. But letting anyone get too close carries the possibility of them finding out her ugly truth, and that's a risk Eden's not willing to take.
When a revelation from an unexpected source rocks her to her core, she's forced to make a decision that will change the course of her life. Faced with this impossible choice between her family and her well-being, she knows she needs help, and the only way to get it is to tell the truth about what has happened, so she can finally leave the past behind once and for all.
In her debut novel, Hannah Bird deftly explores what it truly means to be a family, and whether those ties that bind us all can- or should- ever be broken.
Follow Eden on her journey to discover the goodness of life and love after tragedy, and the importance of those that support us along the way.
