In book 2 of the January Cove series, we meet one of the Parker brothers, Aaron. The youngest of the five Parker children, Aaron was all set to marry his girlfriend of three years until she broke his heart by cheating on him. Now, he's sworn off women and can't seem to get his head on straight. Meanwhile, Tessa Reeves is on the run from something. With her dog and three year old son in tow, Tessa lands in January Cove with dark secrets that she wants to hide from everyone. While renting a space at Aaron's RV campground, Tessa learns that she can't run forever. And Aaron learns that the wall he's put around his own heart might not be as strong as he'd hoped.
Severity reflects intensity, not value — “central theme” means a warning is a core part of the book, not that the book is bad.
