Blog Tour Stop: Finding Home by Aine Kelley










 




Can two broken people help each other learn to love again and find their way home? 


For Samantha Cole, love and relationships have never come easy. Pain and heartbreak have forced her to build a wall around herself. Hoping to start over, Sam leaves Boston behind and moves to Napa with her best friend. Trying to make better choices in love, Sam establishes rules to keep her heart safe. Little does she know that one man will challenge her and change her mind. He has the potential to break down her walls and bring her heart back home. 


Ben Foster has been dealing with heartache and guilt for the past two years, believing he lost his only chance at love. Pounding guys on the Rugby field and running the family winery get him through the pain. When Sam arrives the fog over his life slowly lifts. He wonders if she is the one who can help his heart find a new way home. 


Letting go of the past and moving forward is not always easy. Their connection is strong, but their pasts keep getting in the way. Will Sam and Ben's journey tear them apart or help them find a place to call home?

Looking up into her moist eyes I

pull her close to me. Our arms hug each other with a fierceness that’s getting

rid of every loose fragment of damage. We’re expelling each and every bad

memory and all the shit that’s fucked us up. “I don’t want to let you go. Can

we stay like this for a little while longer?” Her head nods on my shoulder as

she sinks deeper into our embrace.


“You feel incredible in my arms. I

never thought much about guardian angels, but I think you’ve been sent just for

me. Your arms wrapping around me make everything go away.”


Sam’s arms grip me with even more

vigor. I feel her breath and lips tickle my ear as she turns her head into the

crook of my neck. Feather light kisses touch my neck and earlobe as she

whispers; “You’re wrong Ben; you’re my angel. You make me believe that love can

exist.” Her head pulls back but her arms stay firmly in place. “Your voice

brought light into my life when all I could see was darkness. When I’m all

alone, it’s your voice that I hear when I drift off to sleep at night.”


I turn and press my lips onto hers

tenderly and hold them there for several seconds before breaking away. We stay

holding each other well into the night. Finally, her breaths change and I

realize she’s fallen asleep on my shoulder. I gently shift her body close and

place one arm underneath her legs to pick her up. She stirs slightly and turns

her head into the curve of my neck and inhales deeply. “Mmm, you smell so

good.”


I hold her against me as I chuckle,

“Oh yeah? It’s a combination of sweat, wine, and you.”


Sighing she lifts her head with her eyes still closed. “How

is it you know to say the exact thing a woman likes to hear?”


“I don’t know about that. I guess

you bring it out of me.”

We get into the truck, and I buckle

her up. I fight off the images of the accident and instead focus on Sam.  I listen to her steady breaths and watch her

sleep. She hypnotizes me.  I’m captivated

by her heart, beauty and soul. Her capacity to let me in is remarkable and

humbling especially when I don’t think I deserve it. Home has to feel a lot

like this because I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
