Shattered like glass, Ari isn't sure she'll ever put the pieces of her life back together. Starting over in Louisiana won't erase the trauma of what she's been through, but distance from Alaska offers the illusion of safety. Will she ever find serenity or will she always be running?

Zen is a free-agent, happy to shirk responsibility and play life on the wild side. When Ari stumbles back into his life, he's thrown by his need to protect her at any cost...even if she doesn't want his protection. Can Zen convince Ari to let him in past her armor? Or will he always be left out in the cold?
