Wyatt Crawford is everything I'm not. Charming, fearless, and...experienced. He's also hiding something from me.

When he first walks into my small bookstore, I find myself overwhelmed by my instant reaction to him, and more than a little intrigued. Then we run into each other again, and again. And each time leaves me a little breathless - in a good way for once in my life.

Wyatt is only in Dogwood Cove temporarily, so exploring these new feelings I'm having is a bad idea. But the more I'm around him, the more I find myself wondering if what my friends say about their, ahem, intimate relationships is in fact accurate. 

Perhaps I was wrong to think my lackluster experiences are what I must settle for.

Except Wyatt is holding something back. I can see the broken pieces of him lurking beneath his tattooed, charismatic exterior. 

We couldn't be more different, yet he makes me feel as if I finally belong somewhere. With someone. 

Until the truth of who he is, and all the scars he's hiding, come to light.
