When a tragic accident shattered her body and her relationship with Holt years ago, she thought that chapter was closed forever—until he unexpectedly returns to her small-town sanctuary, determined and changed in ways that both terrify and tempt her. As stolen glances turn into lingering touches and walls built over years begin to crumble, she finds herself dangerously close to trusting him with her heart again, even knowing how much it could cost her. But Holt's return stirs up old enemies and new threats, putting her directly in harm's way and forcing them both to confront whether second chances are worth the danger that follows. This is a heart-wrenching second-chance romance that will have you believing in redemption while holding your breath through every twist.
