There is nothing worse for a writer than not meeting a deadline. For Griffin Montgomery, failure to do what he loves comes in one fell swoop. He doesn't understand how much this is affecting his life, until his well-meaning family steps in. His sisters have hired a new personal assistant for him and Griffin is furious, at least until he finds out who she is.

Autumn Minor is a woman who loves to move quietly, many of the people who meet her have a vague memory of her. She tries her best to blend in wherever she lives, even if it's for a short time. Making sure no one notices her is the only way she survived her past. Only when she meets Griffin and the rest of the Montgomery family, for the first time, she is afraid of not being able to leave when the time comes.

The two begin an uncertain and explosive relationship at the same time, but they know it can't last forever. Neither is committed to long-term relationships when it comes to love and romance. When the demons of Autumn's past find her and risk their lives, Griffin will stop at nothing to protect her. But in the end he will be the one to ask for a second chance.
