She’s rebuilding her life, but danger is closer than she thinks… Tessa is focused on creating a fresh start for herself and her daughter while also going through a divorce. Love is the last thing on her mind, but fate has other plans. Unbeknownst to her, two men are quietly orbiting her world—one, her best friend’s brother, who has secretly loved her for years; the other, a stalker who feels a deep need to protect her, convinced it’s the only way to keep her safe. Liam, her best friend’s brother, has been in love with her for as long as he can remember, but he’s always kept his feelings hidden. Now, with the threat of danger looming, he can no longer stay in the background. He’s determined to protect her, even if it means fighting for her heart. But the danger they don’t see is lurking closer than they think. As her ex’s past catches up with her, Dom watches from the shadows, drawn to her in ways he can’t explain. His painful past keeps him from coming forward, but his obsession with her safety—and his growing feelings—demands he make a choice. Caught between two men who want to protect and love her, Tessa must navigate a web of secrets, desire, and danger. Will she find the strength to embrace a love that defies the standard society has set, or will the risks she faces tear them all apart?
