The Book
When you're ready to live again, love often has a way of finding you.
Four years after tragedy, Meredith Harper is tired of hiding in her corner of Texas and living life like a game of dodgeball. She packs up her grief, awkward social graces, and sizable life insurance in search of a vacation and investment property in Colorado Springs. A botched dinner reservation throws her into the path of a bona fide movie star, and Meredith pushes through her comical celebrity neurosis to discover he is charming but a terrible dancer.
A viral video of a daring rescue makes Harlan Holcombe's celebrity star stronger, with millions of his fans deeming him a real-life Hercules. But a minute of heroism doesn't absolve his past mistakes.
As Harlan and Meredith spend more time together, he helps her believe there might be more for her not just in life but in love. And she might be part of the solution to restore the legacy he fears is tarnished. But what happens when the path to redeem his mistakes collides with the path to redeem her loss?
A poignant and humorous contemporary romance of second chances with swoon but no spice, grief and healing, celebrity meets reluctant widow, love after loss, and new beginnings. This clean and wholesome love story will delight fans of Abby Jimenez, Katherine Center, Annabel Monaghan, and Cara Bastone.

Even After This is the first book from the all-new Haven imprint (an imprint of Baker, featuring no-spice romance) ... and what a way to kick off! This book was so good! I had never read anything by Deborah Clack before, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect... but this story absolutely did not disappoint! Emotional and heartfelt, Harlan and Merideth's story brought everything I love in a good romance. Merideth has been through so much heartbreak, the extent of which we discover as the story goes on. There were certainly moments that had me reaching for the tissues. The chemistry between these two was beautifully done and had me rooting for them to get their happily ever after. More than anything, I loved the sense of healing their story brought. If you love emotional romance and stories of finding love after loss, this is one not to be missed. This is the first book in the series, and I absolutely cannot wait to see what is going to happen next.
Even After This is a closed-door romance with kisses only and very minimal minor language. While there is an overall feeling of healing in this story, it is important to note that this story touches on some subjects that could be triggering to some readers. These include:
