I’ve been burned by my ex-fiancée and sentenced myself to long shifts at the hospital ever since. There’s no way I’d give anyone else the opportunity to break my heart again. Until chance brings me face to face with the girl from my past. Danielle is still as beautiful as ever, and seeing her reminds me of how I felt about her—how I still feel about her. But she’s changed. I can see it when I look into her eyes. It’s like she’s no longer living, but merely existing. An enigma laden with secrets from her past—secrets that are forcing her to run from me. Only this time, I won’t let her get away so easily. I’m determined to peel away every layer of secrets she carries around her, and to protect her from whatever it is that’s causing her to run. Danielle Reynolds will not slip through my fingers again. This time…she stays.

Ever since Lex hooked up with Cam at Notes Nightclub, the stunning vixen has been avoiding her. However, when Danny asks them both to be her bridesmaids, Lex seizes on the chance for a confrontation. Cam swears up and down she’s not gay, though her those moans during their night together tell a different story. Lex counters her claim with an offer: six months of no-strings-attached exploration leading up to the wedding. Cam agrees because Lex is the Anti-Commitment Queen, but also because she can't get the gorgeous tattoo artist off her mind. All too fast she realizes her mistake. As they get to know each other, feelings creep in unannounced. Each stolen kiss, each late-night conversation, and each hint of vulnerability has Cam falling harder. Yet when Cam makes the decision to go back to school after Danny’s wedding, every time she tries tell Lex of her imminent departure, the words freeze in her mouth. She can’t be gay—her parents would disown her. All too fast, six months draws closer, but their silence and secrets threaten to destroy any hope of a future together.
