Secrets can destroy. I know, because I just finally came clean with those closest to me about mine. And now I'm working on building a new life.

Along the way, I have my trusty superhero, Mason, to lean on when I have a hard time standing or when my crazy ex-boyfriend continues to feel he has a claim on me.

But I'm worried I'm about to have to keep another secret: I'm falling in love with Mason.
This is going to get complicated...

Mason

I don't want a place to call home or a girl I can claim as mine. Except... Ainsley Janine — better known as 'Nine' — has some special power that makes me willing to throw my rulebook away. The more I try to stay away from her, the more she pulls me closer.

Exploring the possibilities of having something steady in my life isn't a problem; it's the long term that worries me. So does her ex, who keeps popping up everywhere we go.

Will we be able to move forward together, or is it all too complicated?
