In this steamy and emotional contemporary romance from the New York Times bestselling author of the Dream Man and Rock Chick series, two damaged souls must overcome the pain of their past to have the love they've always dreamed of.


After years with no one but herself to rely on, Hattie Yates has finally met the man of her dreams. But her dreams were ripped out from under her once before. Hattie was an up-and-coming ballerina until a terrible tragedy stole her professional hopes - and her confidence. Now, the thought of another loss petrifies her. But when a suspicious phone call leads to more trouble than she can handle, there's only one man Hattie trusts to help . . .

Axl Pantera knows Hattie is the only woman for him - and so does Hattie. Despite the attraction burning between them, Hattie refuses to let Axl in. The former soldier is determined to woo Hattie into letting down her walls, yet when danger comes calling, he finds himself battling for more than Hattie's heart. Axl will do anything to prove to her they're meant to be, but first he'll need to keep her safe.
