BLURB:
Jenna
Moore's flawlessly orchestrated life and engagement to Ben Kelly,
“the perfect man,” vanish when she discovers a controlling side
of her fiancé. Confused and unsure of who she is without Ben, Jenna
decides to uproot from her safe, predictable life in Boston and move
to Bend, Oregon, hoping to find her answers there. It’s when she
meets Jackson, a former Navy SEAL who battles demons of his own, that
Jenna finds the courage to let go of being perfect and embrace
uncomfortable risks, transforming her life through forgiveness,
compassion, surrender and acceptance. Yet the rewards from
discovering her true self exceed Jenna’s expectations – not only
does she find the greatest love of her life, but she also understands
what’s kept her from learning to bend.

Excerpt:
Yet,
at that moment, there is a subtle shift in my being. As devastated
and lost as I feel, a small part of me unfolds, almost releases. I
can’t describe the feeling as it’s something I’ve never before
experienced. I breathe, inhaling Ben’s scent, knowing it’s most
likely the last time I am going to be this close to him. Then Ben
moves his hand to the back of my head, pulling me towards him,
passionately kissing me as we momentarily return to who we were. My
body instinctively takes over as I languish in his taste,
surrendering to him, if only for a few seconds. But I come to my
senses and pull away. We are no longer the Jenna and Ben who are
about to be married in two months. No, that couple is gone. It’s
then that I do the unavoidable – I slowly remove the ring from my
left finger and press it into Ben’s hand. After all, this is a
family antique. It no longer belongs to me. I call for Sam, give Ben
a final goodbye kiss on the cheek, and leave.
