Ellie Carter is hiding, living a half-life and nursing scars that never healed. Abandoning her job and her family, she fled to the coast and hoped to escape her memories and pain. But she’s haunted by both. Owen Riggs is the eternal optimist, so when he breaks what little trust Ellie had in him, he knows he can earn it back. Step by step, touch by touch, he works to repair the damage he’s caused. But no matter how deeply in love Owen falls, he learns that the scars you can’t see are the hardest to heal.
