Ever since Miranda left him five years ago for her drug dealer, Jarod has barely been existing, faking smiles and civility for his familyβs sake. Women are like Kryptonite to him, unless theyβre helping his department run smoothlyβlike Lauren Lockwood, his secretary by day and royal pain by night.

But when someone from Jarodβs past enters their lives, and the drug dealings that destroyed his marriage set up shop in their small town, Lauren and Jarod will be forced to face the feelings that have been brewing inside them since the day they met. Heβll have to trust Lauren with the fragile pieces of his heart. Lauren will have to find the courage to give him what he needs, if she wants her greatest dream to come true.
