Can they embrace the love they both deserve?
As a cop returning to his small hometown, Ian McCleary thought he'd left his darkest memories behind. Then he meets Rachel. Haunted by his own violent past and the father who betrayed him, he recognizes her fear-and he won't stand by as she fights her battles alone.
Rachel has spent years hiding her pain behind quiet smiles, convinced that love means accepting the worst of someone she once trusted. But when a drunken argument leads to a night in the ER, local cop Ian McCleary steps into her life-and her heart.
As the bond between them deepens, Ian's biological father suddenly returns... and so does Rachel's ex.
How far will Ian go to protect Rachel-and his own heart?
