CLEAN ROMANCE

 Camilla and Nick fall hard. She's finally ready to find love. He is not expecting to. Nick's enemy has been threatening him for a while now. And now that he has Camilla, he's concerned for her safety. He reveals to her the truth of things but she stays at his side against his better judgement. But when the threats become too much, Camilla gives him an ultimatum. Either he reach out to his estranged family for help with the matter or she can't do this. Camilla gets caught up in the danger, and when her life is threatened, Nick insists that she go stay with her dad in another state until he has handled matters. Camilla is devestated to leave him but does as he asks. She just doesn't expect to find another man she'll care about waiting for her when she arrives. 

 Camilla Rivers has left her life and love behind to keep herself safe and save Nick Ludlow from torturous worry. After her life is threatened, they both agree it is safer for her to go stay with her father, though Nick has made it clear that he can’t know her location, and no contact between them would be best until it was safe for her to return. She’s devastated upon arriving at the Towers ranch in Montana. Still healing from a gunshot wound, she has to make it through one day at a time.

When Camilla puts her trust in Randin Towers, he takes care of her wounds, both physical and emotional. She begins to find safety in Randin, and she relies on him in moments of extreme heart-ache and hopelessness. As she hopes for word from Nick, she tries to be strong but has doubts about his love for her. She worries it may not be enough to last through this difficult situation. Memories of Nick take over, reminding Camilla just how much she loves and needs him.

Meanwhile, Randin is slowly becoming the person in Camilla’s life that she depends on most. He is funny, charming, sweet, and though Camilla tries not to be attracted to him, his blond hair and insanely blue eyes are hard to ignore. As time drags on, she works her way out of her sensitive state, but finds that she can no longer deny how close she’s grown to Randin.

Camilla Rivers is thrilled to be reunited with her boyfriend, Nick Ludlow. But what she didn’t anticipate upon returning to Portland, was missing Randin and the other people she left behind. As Camilla and Nick delve back into their relationship, Camilla finds herself struggling against the feelings she has for Randin and hopes she can get passed them.

Meanwhile, threats from Reed haven’t ended and have become more personal to Camilla. She’s completely frustrated with the whole situation. And when she finds herself back at the Towers ranch, she takes it upon herself to learn what Reed’s motives really are. But returning to Towers also means seeing Randin again. And even though it’s supposed to be a quick trip, she can’t deny how happy she is to see him again, and the visit goes longer than planned.

As Camilla’s heart struggles in a tug of war, she finally comes to a heart-wrenching decision. But that’s only half of her troubles. She and the others face dangers, secrets, and traumatic events that leaves everyone shocked and facing a loss they never expected.

 Where do you turn after trauma and heartbreak?
Sometimes a new beginning is found in the least likely of places, but it's hard to trust love again after it's let you down before.
