Two broken souls, one chance at redemption.

Hope's gotten used to the quiet. After everything that happened, quiet feels safe. So when a motorcycle breaks down right outside her house and some leather-wearing stranger shows up at her door, it's the last thing she needs. But there's something about Elias West—maybe it's the way he flinches when she gets too close, or how he looks surprised when she doesn't slam the door in his face.
Elias has been running for so long he's forgotten what it feels like to stay put. He's got the scars to prove life hasn't been kind, and he's made peace with being the kind of guy people cross the street to avoid. But Hope doesn't cross the street. She makes him dinner and doesn't ask questions about the darkness he carries around like a second skin.
She's trying to rebuild after her world fell apart. He's never had anything worth building in the first place. Somehow, that makes them fit together in ways that surprise them both. When he finds himself turning his bike around instead of riding off into the sunset, they both know they're in trouble.
The thing is, the past has a way of catching up, especially when you've been running from the kind of people who don't forget. And when it does, Hope and Elias will have to decide if what they've found is worth fighting for—or if some people are just too broken to be saved.
