The Things That Hold Us by Tori Peterson

Charlie, the owner of ‘Charlie’s Antiques’, has a past that makes her wary of giving her heart away.

Logan, a former military mountain of a man with his own share of scars, has a golden retriever personality and a heart as big as the mountains he loves. Their lives keep intertwining unexpectedly, and the connection between them is undeniable. Despite Charlie’s best efforts to resist, the tension and chemistry between them grow stronger. As Logan slowly chisels away the walls Charlie has built to protect herself from the world, she struggles with the weight of her tragic past and the grief that keeps her closed off. Can she overcome the guilt of moving on and allow herself to embrace the love Logan offers? Or will her fears and doubts cause her to lose this powerful connection forever?
