On the outside, Nadia Jacobs is a cool, confident architect at the top of her game. But for the past decade, she’s been quietly building walls to keep the people she loves most at arm’s length.
All because of him. Thomas Donato sacrificed everything when he forced Nadia to keep a dangerous secret from everyone they knew. He did it to protect his family.
But it cost him the woman he’s secretly loved since they were kids. Now he wants back into Nadia’s life.
Nadia’s heart does a familiar skip-and-stumble when met with his hesitant smile, but she sees through his bravado: Thomas is achingly alone.
And letting him in risks losing everyone and everything she holds dear. When his past abruptly crashes into their present, they are both suddenly on the run.
Not only are they forced to confront the price of a secret they’ve kept for a decade, but a truth even more treacherous: their feelings for each other.
With time running out and nowhere to hide, will their love heal what darkness broke in them all those years ago, or will it shatter them forever?
