When Words Are Not Enough (Summer Lake Silver #8)

If you've read the earlier Summer Lake Silver books, you might remember Adam. He runs security for Clay MacAdam. He hasn't had time for a relationship in years. He’s been happy and busy enough with his work and with the fixer-upper house that he's renovating. He still travels a bit with Clay, but he's come to think of Summer Lake as home - the place he wants to finally put down roots.

For him, settling down means owning a house. He's not looking for a woman to be part of the picture. But when Evelyn starts working at Guardian Fitness, his friend's gym, he feels drawn to her in a way he can't explain. She's a mystery, and he just knows that she has more troubles than she'll admit.

He's confident that he can help her out if she'll just open up to him. But no matter what he says, Evelyn's not prepared to take the risk of putting him in danger. He says that he can help, but when it comes to facing her kind of troubles, words are not enough.
