Winter Lightning Natasha Simmons

All her life she's struggled to escape the nightmares of her past, but Naricco "Ricco" Maki is having an even more difficult time evading the memories of the only evening she finally felt safe and free from those demons-an evening spent in the arms of a near stranger. Years ago, out of necessity, she'd begun a new life in a new country. She made peace with all that she'd lost and left behind. But now, as Ricco is finally discovering the sweet spot of her career, running a bakery owned by her best friend, Symphony, she can't seem to get Kenny Cavanaugh out of the edges of her dreams. She would welcome the problem if he hadn't told her in no uncertain terms that he doesn't want anything to do with her. Most everyone knows Kenny Cavanaugh as the owner of the highly sought-after Cavanaugh Construction, but there are some who know him by another name. Kenny is finding out that the past doesn't always stay in the past. Sometimes, it follows you and puts your present and future at risk. Kenny wished he hadn't been so intrigued with Naricco that night they'd met, but he had been. He'd been captivated by her beauty and the pain he sensed in the depths of her eyes. So much so that he used some of his former connections to reach her. Now he's convinced that reaching back into his own murky past has put his livelihood and his chances with Naricco at risk. In order to keep her safe, he must give up any hope of making a life with the only woman he could never let go. In the third and final chapter of Symphony's story, Winter Lightning takes the reader on a thrilling journey of intrigue, danger, mystery, and passion.
