After years of heartache, Cass is ready to begin a new life. She's free of the man who brought her financial and emotional ruin, and she's healing from the loss of her sister. But she never thought her new life would begin with a tattooed stranger who turns her world upside down. For six months, John's been living only to find his brother's murderer, and he's getting close. He won't let anything or anyone get in his way. Until a beautiful woman walks out of a tattoo parlor and straight into the sights of his most-hated rival. When John rescues Cass from a near kidnapping, the attraction between them is as immediate as it is surprising. John will do anything to keep Cass safe, but as they run for their lives, they discover that what's in their past connects them as surely as the danger closing in on them.
