Renowned composer and lyricist Giselle Bonnaire suffers from anxiety disorder and agoraphobia. She needs a driver and housekeeper or she won’t be able to work. Tierney Edwards, a restless, wandering soul, is on the move again, never staying in one place more than a few months. The two women are each other’s opposites, one nomad and one recluse, but when destiny places them together, their mutual attraction can’t be denied.

Giselle knows her heart will break when Tierney moves on again. But Tierney has never felt so at home, which scares her. Can these women, so bruised by life and experience, find a way to break free of the past—or will they have to say good-bye?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Gun Brooke is a mother of two, now grown up, and grandmother of six. This keeps her young as she needs o stay current with these kids. Gun still finds time to write a new book every year. Sometimes two!

Gun loves romance and science fiction. She always injects romance in her sci-fi as all her stories are character-driven. That said, naturally, her sci-fi holds tons of adventure.

Apart from writing, Gun enjoys arts and crafts, her dogs, anything to do with computers.

It is not a secret that Gun suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, for many years. This ended her career as a nurse, but she eventually found the insight that even when things appear somber, you can find a new path, if you just dare to look. And then grab the tiger by the tail and dare to dream.

MS. Brooke has a way of spinning a loving tale. I was hooked into reading it from the start. Truth be told, I've read this several times and find something I missed previously. I have purchased other books by MS. Brooke and am never disappointed. Thank you MS. Brooke.

Gun Brooke did an incredible job in writing this very emotional story. Music, panic attacks, foster care system, a teenager that you are going to love, a cute dog and a touching romance are the ingredients that makes this book so fantastic. It had a great build up with a perfect ending. I definitely recommend this amazing book.

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2018
Ms Brooke again gives us a book well worth reading. Composer and lyricist Giselle Bonnaire writes the most beautiful music but having agoraphobia along with an anxiety disorder doesn’t help. Her long time housekeeper has to leave, leaving Giselle on her own. Tierney Edwards has grown up in foster care so when she becomes an adult she travels from place to place not really trusting anyone. But she needs a job so she takes on the challenge of running Giselle’s home. But she hasn’t forgotten where she came from so she keeps in touch with others in the foster system, helping where she can. I’ve read many books by Ms Brooke and have never been disappointed. Very enjoyable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018
In this outing, Brooke introduces Giselle Bonnaire, a renown composer who suffers from anxiety attacks so debilitating she doesn’t go beyond her yard, never drives her own car during the day, and relies on a housekeeper to do the grocery shopping and other errands. When her housekeeper/driver quits to take care of her sister, Giselle is not sure how she will cope. Enter Tierney Edwards, a drifter who finds herself in the small town of Quay, and needs to stop long enough to earn some money so she can keep moving. A helpful townswoman suggests she go to the Bonnaire house to work for the composer.

Brooke has created a character who suffers from a little-understood disorder in a sympathetic way to help those who don’t understand the complexities of anxiety and panic attacks causing the walls to close on her, her breathing to become labored, and feeling like her heart will stop. She makes the reader understand that the character cannot simply “get over it.” Her secondary character, Tierney, has lost her ability to trust after having spent a goodly portion of her young life in the system in abusive foster homes.

While Giselle’s disorder is an important part of this story, Brooke puts it into context and doesn’t let it dominate the story. The story is about two people, one older, who come together and must overcome trust issues that not many of us have to face. They have a hard time communicating because neither has the know how to do it. There are funny dialogue interchanges and cute moments with Giselle’s dog. There is drama around whether two very different women can be together.

This book is not an easy read by any stretch of the imagination, but it deserves to be read by anyone who knows someone suffering from anxiety attacks or who has personal knowledge about them.

4.0 out of 5 stars The depth of love and family transforms two women in this captivating romance
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2018
The fastastic cover hooked me into this story immediately and I was even more charmed by its content. I truly enjoyed observing Tierney gradually removing Giselle’s walls brick by brick. The transformation Giselle experiences is not without roadblocks, speed bumps, and disappointment but then no life journey is without those things. Tierney’s transformation is met with equal challenges but the gift of family she receives from Giselle had me reaching for the tissue boxes and melted my heart into a puddle of goo. Prepare to have your heart charmed right out of your chest with this delightful story. I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
