Some wounds need more than time to heal...
I don't remember what it's like not to be scared.
And then I meet him.
My brother's friend and ex-partner is everything I'll never be. Sexy, confident, and perfect. He calls me sunshine and tells me I'm beautiful. He asks me to stay.
When my past comes back with a vengeance, he proves just how much he'd risk to shield me from the demons that were never supposed to resurface.
