Rebound (Washington Senators #1)

A life that’s never been her own
From a ten-year-old genius to a twenty-five-year-old woman on the run, Willow Jamison’s life has never been easy. The years between those two ages were spent in a basement working to cure the diseases of the world. But she’s escaped from the basement with a young kid in tow and is willing to do everything in her power to make sure Connor never returns to that house. She just needs to stay a few steps ahead of her kidnappers. With tight funds and little social skills, her plan starts with an uphill climb.

A man who only wants to help
Brayden Ritchie loves the feeling of coming home each time he travels the miles from Washington, D.C. to his home eighty miles away in West Virginia. Sadly, his life playing hockey for the Washington Senators makes it hard for him to spend a lot of time back home. When he runs into a woman and son at the local grocery store and sees how terrified they are, he fears abuse may be in play. After dealing with a similar situation with his sister, he wants to do everything he can to help the pair out. Little does he know, the two are running from more than an abusive husband and father. And Willow is unlike any woman he’s ever met.

A spark that ignites her imagination
Something about Brayden scares Willow, and it’s not his imposing, masculine figure. Emotions have always been hard for her, but Brayden makes her feel things she has no clear words for. Will she act on those feelings? Or will the past she’s running from catch up before she has a chance to find out why she burns every time Brayden is close?
