**WARNING: This series is not intended for readers under the age of eighteen due to sexual content and language.**
TO LIVE AGAIN (LEARNING TO LIVE AGAIN 1)
After losing the future that was promised to her, Kelsey O’Neil says goodbye to her old life and sets out on a journey to capture her own independence, find happiness, and maybe even true love.
A cozy cottage in a quaint Irish town seems the perfect place to start again. And Shaun Brannon, the sexy but mysterious author next door, could be her second chance at love. But Shaun is incapable of opening his heart to any woman. Can Kelsey find out why before she falls too hard?
Eight years ago, Shaun Brannon stopped believing in love, or marriage. His only belief now is in lust. The demons he wrestles with daily are too dark to let him get close to a woman without breaking her heart. Then along comes Kelsey, who makes him wonder how it might feel to give love another chance. Is he brave enough to show her his deepest scars?
TO LOVE AGAIN (LEARNING TO LIVE AGAIN 2)
Shaun Brannon is broken to the core. But even though Kelsey’s heart is cracking as she helps him carry the weight of his past, she can’t walk away from her promise to be there for him, and she can’t ignore her deepening feelings. So she tries to accept the little he’s offering, even though she wants it all. But after months of wrestling with her emotions, she decides she must risk losing him by asking for more than he’s prepared to give her.
Shaun won’t admit it, but he aches for more than Kelsey’s warm body in his bed. The problem is, something stands between them. The whole truth about what happened eight years ago. When Kelsey demands to have all of him or she’ll walk away, he knows the time has come to tell her the truth. But the fear of reliving the past is just as paralyzing as the thought of losing her.
TO BREATHE AGAIN (LEARNING TO LIVE AGAIN 3)
After years of running away from the past, Shaun Brannon returns to Serendipity, his home town. He’s finally ready to come face to face with the demons he’d left behind. With Kelsey O’Neil reminding him to breathe, the future no longer seems as scary.
But are the people he hurt ready to forgive him for what he robbed them of? Can he finally let go and start a new life with Kelsey? Or will the challenges he’s about to face hinder him from moving on?
Reviews:
“I read the whole series and loved it. To Live Again sets the stage with Kelsey and Shaun,To Love Again brings you to tears and you need a tissue box near as you are on an the emotional rollercoaster. The final book is To Breathe Again which brings more tears with all the twists and turns.
Dori writes with such emotion and draws me to each character with in her stories. I look forward to seeing more of her books and would highly recommend this series to read.” – Amazon Reviewer
“What a touching story between Shaun and Kelsey. I cried a few times while reading this book. I usually like to read books where usually the man is the hero in helping the woman through hurt and pain that has happened in her life but in this story I think Kelsey is the hero. It was so wonderful of her to stick by Shaun even though he kept pushing her away. It was very clever of you Dori when you made me think someone had died. I look forward to reading Melisa and Heat’s story. From the little bit of their story I got from this book, I have a feeling I’m going to need tissues nearby. ” – Amazon Reviewer
