Mended with Gold is a hopeful reminder that we are never irrevocably broken by the terrible things that happen to us, but we are shaped by them in ways that just might save us in the end.
Emma Dewar is no stranger to pain. She wears it like a second skin after a brutal attack left her injured, alone, and responsible for the jewelry store she inherited after her parents’ untimely deaths. For her, every stumble is a sharp reminder that some wounds run too deep to ever fade away, and her latest slip is no exception. Only this time, it happens in front of Ethan Sasaki—a stubborn but gorgeous physical therapist with scars of his own. He challenges her to push beyond her grief and reclaim her strength, and he gives her hope that she might actually heal after all. But healing isn’t as simple as fixing a severed bracelet or misaligned locket. It means forgiving your own mistakes, which neither of them knows how to do.
Buried secrets soon come back to haunt them, teaching them both that the past isn’t always what it seems. Through loss and betrayal, they uncover a connection that was formed long before they ever met, and a revelation that will change everything they thought they knew. Will Emma and Ethan find a way to mend themselves and each other while their lives fragment around them like the broken jewelry that brought them together?
