Falling Fast

Wainscott's newest series focuses on couples struggling to find love after shaky pasts. Mia Wentworth, a childhood cancer survivor, has just experienced the one summer when she truly felt alive. The summer of first love and passion when she turned 17 ended in a near-tragic car accident. Mia thus went from cancer survivor to burn victim. Her visible scars are just a surface reflection of her inside struggles despite her passion for her new job as a burn victim nurse. Raleigh West was that boy—the one from the wrong side of the tracks. He loves cars and making them go fast, but after the accident that resulted in Mia's injuries, his conviction, and the end of their love, he has given up driving. Of course, with his past and job as a "grease monkey" he never really gets the chance his kind and loving heart deserves. When Mia's grandmother dies, leaving her Florida home to Raleigh and Mia, the two must come together to settle the estate and get the home ready for sale. The will implies that this is for closure, but grandma's letters indicate a different reason. Can Raleigh and Mia recover the love that made them both truly live?
