The Compass Of Us: The Past Broke Them. Love Rebuilt Everything (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349381294)

Nora Beckett has mastered the art of survival. After a painful betrayal left her raising her ten-year-old son alone, she's built a quiet life in the small mountain town of Pine Hollow. Her days are filled with routine, her heart carefully walled off, and her focus solely on Eli-the only compass she trusts anymore.

Until Declan Ford arrives next door.

A former rescue pilot with a past he can't outrun, Declan comes to Pine Hollow to disappear. But when he saves Eli during a trail accident, Nora's guarded world collides with his in the most unexpected way. Despite their scars, their connection is undeniable-steady, slow-burning, and terrifyingly real.

As Declan forms a bond with Eli and slowly earns a place in Nora's tightly held world, the past begins to resurface. A rumor. A file. A ghost in camouflage. And when Eli's absentee father reappears with a custody threat that could unravel everything, Nora and Declan must decide what they're willing to fight for.

In the face of secrets, sabotage, and fear, love will be tested-but it may also become the thing that saves them all.

Tender, deeply emotional, and filled with heart-stopping twists, The Compass of Us is a story of second chances, the family we choose, and the courage it takes to stay-especially when walking away once felt safer. For readers who believe in slow-burn romance, resilient characters, and the kind of love that doesn't come easy... but stays forever.
