A small-town second chance romance from the bestselling author of Flawless and Wild Love. Features an exclusive bonus scene, limited to this paperback edition!

I met Violet Eaton online. What happened between us, in our chats, was meant to stay anonymous and in the past. Until it didn't.

It's a small world, but Ruby Creek is even smaller. When I move to the tiny town, the grumpy facade I've created slips when Violet and I are forced to live under the same roof. Every time her eyes flare with heat, the ice I've encased myself in melts. She has me wanting things I can't want - things I don't deserve.

But my invisible wounds have the power to ruin us both. As a former soldier, I should have the discipline to walk away, but the more I open up to Violet, the more I want to keep her. I came back from the war a different man, but my scars are older and deeper than anyone knows - and I planned to keep it that way. I planned to keep my secrets hidden. Until her.
