USA Today bestselling author Margot Scott concludes the Safe and Sound duet with another spicy, age-gap, found-family romance bursting with raw emotion. I could tell McKenzie Sommers was a fighter the moment we met. Two broken ribs, countless bruises, her bare feet scraped to hell. She’d stared Death in the face and lived to describe him to a sketch artist. Now that the imminent danger has passed, she’s struggling to pick up the pieces, but some terrors linger in the wake of the threat. They take up residence inside you like bad houseguests, a feeling I know all too well as a US Army Vet. The monsters under McKenzie’s bed tell her she’s tainted and broken but broken never bothered me; I didn’t buy an old farmhouse so I could hire someone else to fix it. With me, she can shatter into a thousand glittering pieces and trust that I’ll gather the shards. I’m not afraid of cutting my palms on her edges. I’ve fought and bled for my country. I’ll fight just as fiercely for us. Hush Baby Hush is the second and final installment in the Safe and Sound duet featuring a protective veteran hero, a strong heroine overcoming trauma and decades of abuse, unbreakable friendships, and themes of emotional resilience and processing trauma. A full list of tropes and warnings can be found on the author’s website.
