Sometimes you have to look beneath the surface to find the treasure within
After years of searching, Bren Ryan has found her place in Hope Harbor. Working as a barista suits her to a T, as does the laid-back vibe of her adopted town. Nothing is lacking in her life--except romance. But that's okay. Men are a complication she doesn't need.Buttoned-up CPA Noah Ward isn't looking for love, either, when he arrives in town on a mission to convince his father to move closer to him. And he certainly doesn't intend to fall for the quirky, free-spirited woman who's taken up residence in his father's guest cottage.
But when Noah finds himself sucked into Bren's quest to help a struggling teen, might the two of them discover there's more to each other than meets the eye?

pp 24-25.
Before he could finish that thought, something wet hit him in the face.
In the next instant, the fires of hell rained down on him, burning his eyes, nose, mouth, and throat.
He dropped his overnight bag as his eyes slammed shut. His seared lungs balked, and he started to hack. Hard. Snot dripped from his nose.
Chest heaving, he fell to his knees as waves of pain crashed over him.
If someone was trying to kill him, they were doing a first-rate job of it.
Splaying the fingers of one hand on the floor, he groped in his pocket for his handkerchief. He had to wipe away whatever was singeing his eyeballs. ASAP.
The instant his fumbling fingers closed over the square of cloth, he yanked it out and tried to swab off whatever toxic substance was wreaking havoc.
Didn’t work.
In fact, his eyes might hurt worse—if that was even possible.
“Help . . . me.” The hoarse, croaked plea came out in a voice that didn’t sound anywhere close to his usual baritone.
No response.
Whoever had done this to him must have a heart of stone.
Or else they’d hightailed it out of here after rendering him defenseless.
What kind of scumbag would attack an innocent man and—
Wait.
Was it possible Dad had started renting the cottage again and hadn’t told him? Had he walked in on paying guests who’d assumed he was an intruder and doused him with pepper spray?
Oh, geez.
This day was going from bad to worse.
