Healing Nicole by Rachel M Storm

NICOLE
I was supposed to get my happily ever after but instead I got betrayal, loss and heartache. I decided that what I needed was a new town, new job and new beginning. My intent was to stay away from any and all relationships, but little did I know that the Maynard family- more specifically Mace Maynard would not allow me to wallow in my heartache in peace.

MACE
She’s new, she’s sad and she never smiles- although sometimes I think she thinks she smiles. My plan was to become her friend and try my best to bring a smile to her beautiful face. But I was never prepared for the smart, feisty and sassy woman she turned out to be. Now? Now I don’t want to be just her friend, I want more. I want to be the one to completely heal her wounds, kiss all the pain away and make sure that she stays happy but most of all I want to make sure she stays mine.
