Perfect for fans of Nicolas Sparks’ Dreamland and Dobyn Carr’s Shelter Mountain, Rita Rowe’s Never the Moon is a moving and emotionally charged contemporary romance about overcoming abuse and finding a second chance at love.

Jennifer’s life is a labyrinth of pain and turmoil as she finds herself trapped in a marriage with her abusive and controlling husband, Jack. But her heart still beats for her first love, David, whose engagement to Jack’s ill sister shattered their chance at a future together.

Years later, fate brings Jennifer and David back together, reigniting their passionate love affair and the hope for the life they always dreamed of. However, with Jack’s hold on her growing stronger with each passing day, Jennifer must find the courage to break free from his grasp and reclaim her life with David. Torn between the man she loves and her commitment to the life she has already built, can Jennifer finally escape her abuse and rekindle the happiness she once had in her own life?

Equally heartwarming as it is heart-wrenching, Never the Moon brilliantly captures both the tragedy of domestic abuse and the beautiful hope of finding peace, escape, and love.

When hitman Elias “Shep” Shepherd accepts a Mafia contract, he doesn’t expect his mark to be a woman—or the sexiest thing in grease-stained overalls he’s ever laid eyes on. Feisty auto mechanic Cameron stirs something inside the Special Forces veteran’s battle-hardened heart. Despite the risks, he’ll do whatever it takes to protect her, even if it means hiding her in his remote mountain cabin and breaking his no visitors rule.

If the Mafia discovers Cameron is still alive, Shep will need every one of his elite skills to keep them both safe. Although he’s no longer sure which is more dangerous—the enemy’s demand for merciless retribution, or the woman who makes him wish he was worthy of her love.
