Unforgiven in Cheshire Bay by H.M. Shander

Erin has learned to guard her heart and keep her secrets safely stashed away. When she’s asked to design a huge mural and collaborate on the project with a handsomely rugged man, she jumps at the chance to say yes and impress. What a gift to her business, and her mounting debt. How could she refuse?
Until… she learns who he is.

Blissfully single, David Dean is surprisingly smitten by Erin’s fierce tongue, her blunt honesty, and a willingness to call him on his bullshit, something no one has challenged before. It’s intoxicating, and because she’s a single mom, he wants to do right by her and treat her well, even if it comes across as old-fashioned.3
Until… he learns who she is.

As his past business mistake collides with her aggressive social media smear, he starts to question their building attraction. Was any of it real? While revenge may have been part of her plan, destroying a heart – especially the one she’s fallen in love with – never was. Can they forgive each other or is the damage unrepairable?
