(Book 5/prequel, Blaze of Glory Series)

A mother will always do what’s best for her children — even if it means giving up her own chance at happiness.

A decade ago, Elina’s life was derailed by a smooth-talking charmer. Since then she's toiled endlessly to create a better life for her children, putting thoughts of romantic love aside. But when handsome, intimidating Declan wins her over with his old-fashioned notions of love, Elina has a decision to make. How can Elina find happiness when her heart is pulling her one way and her children’s futures are pulling in another?
