Rising from ashes is hard. Giving up the one you love is harder.
Thirty-two-year-old Phoenix Walker is an entrepreneur who has built an agency with a heart almost as big as his own. To add to his good fortune, he’s falling for Orchid Paige, the beautiful half-Asian marketer who’s collaborated with him on a winning military campaign. They’ve grown close after months working and traveling together. She’s even divulged the trauma in her past that makes her panic over images of injured vets. He’s trying not to cross their professional boundary. Their relationship is at a precipice. Until an accident changes him forever.
Now, he’s faced with the hardest decision of his life: Does he burden the woman whose traumatic childhood makes him feel protective of her? Or does true love mean leaving her without explaining why?
For fans of ME BEFORE YOU and THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, GOODBYE, ORCHID asks…what choice does a wounded hero have when loving his woman means breaking his own heart?
Carol Van Den Hende is an author and American Fiction Award winner who pens stories of resilience and hope. She’s also a speaker, strategist, and serves on nonprofit boards.
