The Love We Found by Salisa K. Garrand

The Love We Found is a heartfelt, grumpy-sunshine, age-gap, romance about loss, laughter, and the courage to love again.

Daniela “Dani” never meant to fall for anyone.
She’s spent her life building walls out of ambition and wit, determined to prove she can stand on her own. But when her best friend’s wedding introduces her to a guarded former Marine and his six-year-old daughter, who steals her heart, her carefully planned world begins to unravel.

Logan stopped believing in love the day his wife died.
Older, quieter, and still haunted by the ghosts of what he’s lost, he’s not looking for anything beyond work and raising his daughter. But when Dani steps in to help while he’s away, the lines start to blur. Late-night texts turn into something deeper, and just helping out starts to feel like home.

But love isn’t simple for two people who’ve both learned how to survive alone.

When fear, distance, and old wounds threaten to pull them apart, they’ll have to decide: keep hiding from the past, or finally step into the love they’ve found together.
