Loved Either Way

Two years have passed since the fire that changed Delaney Reed's life overnight, but she still hasn't been able to move on. Not even time, distance, and a whole new city has helped ease the fear she feels about returning to the place that hurt her the most. Well, until a tall and handsome stranger sits in her salon chair ...

Lucas Dalton walks a careful line between the beer brewery heir the public sees, and the man he doesn't want to be. The private struggles of his family haven't hit the papers yet, or come to a head, but it's just a matter of time before it all falls apart.

When tragedy sends Lucas looking for the one person safe enough to get him through it, Delaney can't say no-even if it bends some of her rules-and neither of them expected to find home in each other in the process.

That's the thing about love. It has a way of calling us back where we belong.

Loved Either Way is book 2 in the These Valley Days series. It features a different couple from book 1, although old faves will pop in to say hello, and has a HEA. If topics like parentification, substance abuse/addiction, religious deconstruction, and/or pregnancy loss are hard triggers for you, tread carefully.
