Can two tortured souls find solace in each other?

Jolie Carter is haunted by secrets from a past she's never revealed. Her friends know nothing of that time or why she moved to town, and she wants to keep it that way. But Nathan Quinn challenges her as much as he intrigues her, and while his interest is flattering, she pushes him away out of deep-seated fear. What would he think of her if he knew her dark past?

Nathan Quinn is battle-scarred and tough-as-nails. Maybe that's why he sees through Jolie's lies and evasions. He's been there, and he recognizes the wounded look in her eyes. The pain of whatever she's hiding is eating her up inside and he can't stand by and watch. But it means Jolie tries harder to push him away when he gets close, even as she clutches him closer...
