Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Helen Hardt comes a deeply emotional tale of being lost, until light—and love—brings you back to shore…
Some days I can almost see the person I used to be. See the version of myself that felt joy, even passion. But she's gone...just out of reach.
Life moves on for everyone else, though, and as my best friend’s maid-of-honor, I have a bachelorette party to plan—in Jamaica, no less. And that means working side by side with the best man: Benjamin Black.
Billionaire. Workaholic. Ultimate bachelor. The perfect catch for any woman—unless she's lost her sense of self.
Apparently my body hasn’t gotten the memo. Because from the second we meet, something begins stirring, warming my blood.
And when our hands touch, it’s a heady reminder that even if I feel numb, my heart still beats.
He’s nothing like I thought. Every moment with him unshackles a little more of my fears, cracks another layer of ice.
But I should be afraid—and so should he. Because the past never lets go so easily.

Tessa is suppose to be planning Skye’s bachelorette party, but she’s having a tough time. Ben, the best man, steps up and plans both parties taking the pressure off of her.
…
Tessa is nervous and skittish around Ben. Everytime he tries to touch her she pulls away. She knows she can trust Ben since Skye is marrying his brother, but she can’t shake the feelings of being with a man yet.
…
Ben feels a connection with Tessa and senses her unhappiness. He does everything he can to put a smile on her face. He kind of becomes her depression sponsor coming to aid when she’s feeling down.
…
Helen Hardt writes about a two characters who have made some bad decisions in their past. When they meet each other they have this connection that helps each other heal. For me I was expecting a deep dark emotional story about a traumatic experience that required soul searching and extensive therapy. This is the aftermath of some horrible experiences that still require healing. For me it could’ve been better. I did find the flashback scenes informative and explained the darkness that resided in both Ben and Tessa. I could’ve done without the religious aspect of the story. It didn’t offer any value to the story or the healing process. I felt like Helen Hardt was defining Tessa’s character by these situations. The number of times she compared Ben with Garrett when it was obvious they hadn’t spent much time together. I was annoyed by Tessa’s character defining Ben as a good person because he was wealthy. Or the fact she couldn’t understand why a guy who had money would be interested in her.
…
This is a standalone novel, yet I felt like the ending left unanswered questions regarding Ben’s role in his past choices and the effects it would have on his company.
