About this ebook
Hayden Crewe can't go anywhere without drawing a crowd. But while he keeps vigil at a Seattle hospice, estranged from the mother he can't forgive or leave, he feels more alone than ever. Then Briar Moore, clear-eyed and sharp-tongued, sits down beside him, completely unimpressed by his fame.
Briar escaped a job and a relationship that nearly crushed her. Now she refuses to hide or settle. Wanting Hayden is dangerous, but risking her heart for him feels more necessary than safe.
They're both hiding grief they haven't named yet. They're both running from something. And the only place either of them has ever felt still is with each other.
