One choice can ruin everything… When a stop at a shady motel puts Brandon Parker face to face with his best friend, Mary, for the first time in over a decade, he almost doesn’t believe it. He’d never stopped looking for her, but even a career in law enforcement couldn’t help him find a woman who wanted to stay invisible. When Mary Benson ran away at eighteen, she did it with good reason. A man was in the hospital because of her, and the people she loved were in danger. She had to leave to keep them safe. Mary’s guilt is her consolation. She’d lived with her decisions and accepted the hand dealt to her. But Brandon was about to shuffle the deck in a way she never expected. One thing was for sure―he thought she’d be happy to see him…and he’d never been more wrong about anything in his life.

One truth can explain everything... Declan Kelly has spent his entire adult life saving people, all the while avoiding any real connections or emotions.

He tried to prepare himself for how he would react when he saw Amie, but could never have anticipated just how hard it would be to remain unaffected. Amie Dotson knew from the moment she lied that Dec wouldn't forgive her... but she didn't want him to. Lying was easier than the truth because he would have stayed for her, and she didn't want him to miss out on his dreams because of her. Harboring more than one secret, Amie tries to avoid Declan when she discovers he's back in town, but when he sees the evidence marring her body, she knows he'll do whatever it takes to remove the fear from her eyes.
