Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most. Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.

Dennis Kim didn't become a rising star architect by playing it safe. His innovative sustainable design could revolutionize the industry—if he can just keep a crew long enough to build it. Too bad the only person capable of bringing his vision to life is also the most infuriating man he's ever met. Chris Rhodes is brilliant at his job, annoyingly good-looking, and seems to live for making Dennis' blood pressure spike. For someone who claims he's never worked with anyone so stuck-up and theoretical, Chris certainly spends a lot of time poking holes in Dennis' designs—and Dennis only seems to make mistakes when those dimples are watching. When a trapped kitten and one perfectly landed punch change everything between them, Dennis discovers Chris' antagonism might be hiding something far more complicated. As their professional rivalry evolves into dangerous attraction, Dennis finds himself falling for a man whose secrets could destroy everything he's built. But the harder he falls, the more Chris pulls away. Some foundations aren't meant to last. And some secrets are better left buried.
