Afraid to Hope (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781970399264)

John Van Laan has survived a war that nearly destroyed him, assassins, betrayal, bloodshed, and the burden of taking a life. Now, in the quiet beauty of Grand Haven, he longs for something far more dangerous than power or wealth: peace... and love.

But the past does not fade quietly.

As John struggles with haunting nightmares and a fragile truce with a powerful Thai family, a jealous and calculating enemy begins crafting a plan that could shatter everything. Phillip Palmer believes he deserves John's fortune, and he knows exactly how to hurt him.

In a world where fear lingers beneath the surface of happiness, and where love feels both like salvation and vulnerability, one question remains:

How do you move forward when you're afraid to hope?
