From the New York Times bestselling author
of Archer's Voice, Mia Sheridan delivers a
heartwrenching new stand-alone contemporary romance.
A broken woman . . .
Crystal learned long ago that love brings only pain. Feeling
nothing at all is far better than being hurt again. She
guards her wounded heart behind a hard exterior and carries
within her a deep mistrust of men, who, in her experience,
have only ever used and taken.
A man in need of help . . .
Then Gabriel Dalton walks into her life. Despite the
terrible darkness of his past, there's an undeniable
goodness in him. And even though she knows the cost, Crystal
finds herself drawn to Gabriel. His quiet strength is
wearing down her defenses and his gentle patience is causing
her to question everything she thought she knew.
Only love can mend a shattered heart . . .
Crystal and Gabriel never imagined that the world, which had
stolen everything from them, would bring them a deep love
like this. Except fate will only take them so far, and now
the choice is theirs: Harden their hearts once again or find
the courage to shed their painful pasts.
