Bastain Smith has sworn off love.

​

After a painful divorce, the successful attorney is content focusing on his family, his work, and staying far away from relationships. The last thing he needs is another woman turning his life upside down.

​

Then he meets Trinity Layton.

​

Recovering from a brutal assault at the hands of her own aunt, Trin is determined to rebuild her life on her own terms. She's independent, stubborn, and carrying more burdens than anyone realizes—including a mystery involving her late mother's Social Security checks and a greedy relative willing to do anything to get her hands on them.

​

From the moment they meet, sparks fly—and not always the good kind.

​

But as Bastain finds himself drawn deeper into Trin's world, protecting her becomes more than a favor. It becomes personal. And when danger refuses to stay in the past, he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

​

Trin isn't looking for a hero.

​

​

Bastain isn't looking for love.

​

Too bad fate has other plans.

Sometimes the person who drives you crazy is the only one who can heal your heart.
