He's the one who broke her heart. And the only man who can keep her safe.

Ten years after their teen romance ended in betrayal, Tess Fenmore and Johnny Sawyer are forced to confront their past when a stalker threatens her safety.

Years ago, Johnny married Tess's best friend and broke her heart. Now a cop—and a widower carrying a load of guilt despite his wife's cheating ways—Johnny realizes he never really stopped loving Tess. He's determined to protect her, whether she wants him around or not.

The fiercely independent Tess is forced to accept Johnny's protection. Rekindled passion flares every time they are together, but past betrayals, regrets and doubt tear at their emotions. Little by little, they discover the truth about their past, about who really betrayed whom.

And who is the stalker's real target.
