Dream Again Ann Marie Bryan

One random day. One burst of laughter. One perfect moment. That's all it takes for Gianna Barrett to capture Carter McIntosh's attention-and his heart. His whole life has been a series of miracles, so this falls right in line. If only it were that simple. The object of his desire refuses to give him the time of day. Not deterred, Carter is sure he's ready to put his heart on the line for love. Big mistake. He isn't quite prepared and finds himself wrestling a soul-deep hurt into submission."There has been an accident...." That devastating revelation shattered Gianna's life, and in that one chaotic moment, everything she had was taken away. She has spent years carefully crafting her new normal, so there is no way Carter can just insert himself into her life. The fight is on but not for long. Their attraction is instant, and before she knows it, all her cynicism goes out the door. When Gianna learns more about Carter's life, she gets a better understanding of her beginning. As she starts her journey to healing, she uncovers Carter's startling secret. In the days that follow, she struggles with feelings of regret, fueling her natural tendency to retreat. But the flames of desire burn hot and it's not easy to break their unexpected connection. As the past reaches for them, they soon realize that to move forward, they must look back. Will they allow God to be the anchor they so desperately need-before it's too late? For all they ever wanted was to be loved.
