Scent of a Nightmare (The Pineview Lake Series, #1) / The Pineview Lake Series (ePub)

Memories can haunt you by a simple smell. As for Cadence Evergreen, her nightmare is the smell of firework smoke, bourbon on ice, and expensive peppery cologne. Those are her trigger warnings to the never ending nightmare. One that drove her to run when she was seventeen. For six years she lived in fear of her nightmare finding and taking her daughter, Waylan from her. Cadence thought she was safe in the quiet life she built for her and her daughter. Until she received the devastating news her grandfather had a stroke. Living with the guilt of running away, Cadence decides it's time to go home. Back to the beautiful green lake house where her nightmare resided with outstretched arms, beckoning for her return.

Cadence had a plan to go see her grandparents and tell them she loved them. She was going to be there a few days max... Until she left her phone in a coffee shop...which was owned by Tate Adams. He disrupts her whole plan. He makes her laugh and he isn't scared that she has a daughter. How does Cadence keep running when Tate shows her that her nightmares don't scare him? How does she keep her daughter safe when the man she had been running from finds her? Guilt for bringing her nightmare into Tate's life and gambling with her daughter's safety triggers her flight senses. Cadence must either run or fight and she must decide before her choice is taken from her... again.
