Nash Morgan has always been Knockemout's golden boy, but a near-fatal shooting has left him battling panic attacks and nightmares he desperately hides from everyone—until his new neighbor Lina moves in and somehow sees straight through his carefully constructed walls. There's an undeniable chemistry between them, especially in physical touch that grounds Nash and awakens something in guarded Lina, making a scorching short-term fling seem like the perfect solution for them both. But Lina's got secrets about why she's really in town, and Nash's expecting something she's never willing to give: roots and forever. As this small Virginia town works its magic on them both, Nash becomes determined to convince Lina that what they have is worth the risk—even if it means facing the darkness that nearly destroyed him.
