A broken woman on his porch will change everything for this man. When he finds out she's a fugitive on the run from the police, he vows two things: To protect her and to show her she can trust again. Kyle Brennan has lived a good life. But when a fire burns through his family’s pub, it destroys more than just the building and leaves him with a physical reminder of what happened. He throws himself into restoring the family business and retreats from everything else. It isn’t until a broken woman shows up on his doorstep that he feels human again. Amelia Lehman’s life hasn’t been quite so charmed and she barely escapes with her heart still beating. When Kyle opens the door instead of who she was expecting, she realizes that she’s safe for the first time in years. She’s far from healed, though, and her past isn’t going to leave her alone. She has to figure out a way to build a new life while coming to terms with the old one. Each of them is broken in their own way and they lean on one another as they try to put the pieces back together. Along the way, they’ll learn more about each other and discover things they didn’t know about themselves. They’ll have to decide if what they’ve built is real and if it's enough to overcome the scars that plague them both. This book contains adult content that may be sensitive for some readers.
