Blindness
Ginger Scott - 2014
Never fully recovered from the unexpected death of her father when she was barely 18, she dove head first into a life of pretend and good enough, running away from a home that harbored nothing but bad memories and challenges and into the arms of Trevor Appleton, a man who could take her away from it all forever. Everything was...easy. But it's funny how fate takes over when your heart needs it most. And when a chance encounter brings Cody Carmichael into Charlie's life, her heart begins to beat for the first time since the day her dad left her completely alone. There was nothing easy about Cody. A former motocross super star, he was now happy to be living the blue collar life, spending his days finishing up school and his nights under the hood of some classic car, just trying to keep everything his father taught him alive. He didn't have time for things like trust and love—they'd only burned him in the past. Cody was everything Charlie had been running away from, but no matter how hard she fought it, there was an undeniable pull that always led straight to him. And the closer Cody and Charlie got, the more secrets they uncovered—secrets that threatened to unravel everything they'd both worked so hard to protect. But fate...it can't be ignored. And feeling alive might just be worth the risk.
