Haven by Wren Willoughby - Love on the Tyne #1

Willow Thornton is desperate to escape the clutches of her secrets, but when her options run out, the only person who can help is her boss, Jack Lambert. With nowhere else to turn, Willow moves in with him, seeking refuge from a life that’s become too dangerous to endure. Jack has been quietly in love with Willow for years, but he’s never crossed the line—until now. When he opens his door to her, he has no idea of the dark secrets she’s hiding. But as the truth about her past begins to unfold, the tension between them grows, and Jack's protective instincts shift them into something deeper, more passionate. While Willow is able to trust Jack with her heart, her past isn’t finished with her yet. Threats linger over them both, and even the safety she’s found in Jack’s arms may not be enough to protect her from the chaos. Can Jack and Willow find happiness in each other, or will her past destroy the haven he’s offered?
