Naima Morin is a woman haunted by her past. For more than two centuries, she has struggled to forget the nightmarish years spent imprisoned underground, held captive at the whim of a sadistic madman named Lamar Davenant. But she can never forget the young man who rescued her from that hell—Lamar's son, Aaron, who risked his own life so that she could be free. And though she believes she'll never see Aaron again, he will always hold a place in her heart as her first—and only—true love.

Aaron Davenant is a man without a past. A head injury in his youth left any memories of his early life lost to him. But when he sees Naima Morin, there's something undeniably familiar about her. Even though Aaron feels drawn to her, convinced Naima can help him unravel the mystery of his forgotten youth, he has a mission to complete—destroy Naima's family—by order of his father. And Aaron has learned the hard way not to defy Lamar—he has the scars to prove it.
