If you’ve found your soulmate, the only other thing you need is the right timing. In Rhys Pierce’s case, time wasn’t on his side. In an effort to protect his family, Rhys made a decision that would take a year from his life. He was due to turn himself into Chaney State Penitentiary in just a week and a day. Rhys had made peace with his fate, but when Dream Baldwin walked back into his life, possibilities of what could be consumed him. She consumed him. The years they spent apart had been kind to Dream, and he had evolved into precisely the woman Rhys knew he needed, but… who was he to ask her to wait for him? Would she even want to? Dream was in grind mode. After putting her trust and finances in the wrong man’s hands, she was left with almost nothing. She still had her family. She still had home, and moving back in with her parents to start over sounded better than settling for half a man. Vowing to focus only on herself and business, Dream had tunnel vision… until she saw him. It had been six years since they shared space, but he was still the man her heart wanted. Refusing to believe it was just a coincidence, Dream made her feelings clear without hesitation. She felt like this was the love she had waited a lifetime for, but would forces outside their control leave her disappointed? Only time would tell.
