You will never be good enough for the wrong person…
Lily thought she’d been through it all.
First, she lost her father. Then she fell in with a man who abused her—and was threatened by his father if she ever told.
She chose to leave town and get away from it all, leaving her mother behind to hold down the family business, and has been on the road, living a carefree traveler’s life ever since.
She’s just starting to think this might be the life for her when she gets the phone call she never wanted to get: Her mother has been in an accident and needs someone to look after her. Lily heads back to the town she swore she’d never see again to care for her mom, refusing to stay away when her mother needs her. But her ex hasn’t forgotten his feelings for her. And his father isn’t happy to see her in town.
Lily’s barely back in town before she starts receiving threats again. Only this time, she has an ally: the ex-military neighbor who is not only bigger and stronger than her ex but also becoming fiercely protective over Lily herself.
When things come to a head and they find themselves getting closer than they meant to, Lily will have to face an important question. Is she scared enough of her ex to leave town? Or will she stay, with Warren beside her, and fight for her right to follow her heart and make a life with the man she never saw coming?
