Tara Haden is fleeing from her abusive ex-husband. As Ryker Ranch's new massage therapist, she hopes to blend in and build a better life, but her plans go off course when she meets Kace Ryker. He awakens desires that dare her to step out of the shadows, desires better abandoned. Kace was born to race cars, but a crash has left him injured and grounded from racing. Tara and her massages give him hope for another lap around the track, but she has the power to distract him from the thing he wants most. When two people run from the truth, they just might pass by the one thing they never expected to find—love.
