He wants to forget the past. She will always remember.

Connor Stone has always been odd man out in his family. Not the oldest, not the most charming, he’d had a lock on the youngest until another half-sibling came to live with them, so he raised hell in his youth. Con knows the only way to redeem himself is with deeds, not words and sets out to prove once and for all he is worthy of the Stone family–which is why he ignores his attraction to their employee Ava Sanchez. When his older brother asks him to take care of the business while he is out of town, Con finally will have redemption he craves.

After her friends disappeared when she was fifteen, Ava Sanchez vowed to make every day count and live life to the fullest. Working at Global Humanitarian Relief is her dream job, allowing her to atone for living when her friends died. If only she could ignore her inconvenient fascination with her boss’s brother, Connor. When she is nearly abducted, it seems as if the past may be coming for her.

Con is determined to protect Ava until they can figure out why she’s been targeted. But as they come closer to figuring out who is threatening her, he must choose between saving the girl or protecting his family and the family business. Will his choice bring him love or break his heart?
