Part of Series
Vaughn Morris survives on denial and hope. He spends his days permanently marking other's skin and his nights trying to forget the scars imbedded in his soul. When he returns back home desperately seeking approval from the mother who left him for dead, the last thing he expects to do is fall in love with a woman who is just as closed off as he is. Rayne Garner hasn't truly lived in years. She made a promise to her high school sweetheart, and she refuses to break it. Nobody has made her question her loyalty until Vaughn forces her to face reality, no matter how brutal it may be. As tempers clash and ugly truths are revealed, a friendship they didn't need turns into a love neither thought they wanted. But Rayne and Vaughn not only have to fight for each other, they must survive threats from a past they're both trying to move on from.
