About this book
When Hailey left Lennox years ago to give him the life she thought he deserved, she never expected their paths to cross again—but fate has other plans. Now that one of their foster siblings has been kidnapped, these two are forced to work together despite years of hurt and unfinished business standing between them. As they race against the clock to unravel a dangerous mystery, Lennox refuses to let her push him away a second time, and Hailey discovers that some connections are simply too powerful to ignore. This is a story about second chances, found family, and discovering that the person you've been running from might be exactly who you need.
