She never expected the baddest boy in town to be able to break down her walls. But when her cage is finally unlocked, will she run free or stay trapped in her past? Hailey has led a sheltered life—beyond sheltered, in fact. A freak accident in her childhood made her parents over-protective and left Hailey mentally scarred for life and woefully naive. The death of her grandfather brings her back to the place where it all began and long-repressed memories begin to surface, igniting a thirst for answers. Meanwhile, Hailey has to contend with the attentions of the town bad boy, Brock Silvanus, a wannabe thug that’s intent on running the town with intimidation tactics. He’s not as rough with her, though—he could even be called kind in certain instances—but she’s been warned not to lower her guard. No amount of sexy smirks and rippling abs can make a guy less bad, right? As Brock attempts to help Hailey unlock the secrets to her past, they grow closer, and Brock’s entire way of life is thrown into question. Should the Alpha stay true to his badass past, or open himself to the mate he thought he’d lost forever?
