After the devastating loss of everything and everyone she loves most, Alyssa is quietly trying to pick up the pieces of her life and stay in the shadows. Still, she can’t shake the memories of how Eric Lewis, the man she thought she was going to marry, destroyed her and left her life in shambles. Working in a skeevy bar, Alyssa never expects to run into anyone from her past, until the night Cameron Lewis, Eric’s brother, walks in and shakes her world again. She’s desperate to run—after all, if Cameron found her, then his brother could too—but can she afford to run from the man who’s quickly stealing her heart? Cameron bought the sleazy bar to avenge a wronged friend. Never in a million years did he imagine his brother’s ex-girlfriend was so desperate to survive that she would be willing to work in the bar’s horrid conditions. Cameron has no idea what devastation his brother wreaked in Alyssa’s life, but he’s determined to find out, and he feels compelled to protect her. But is he just trying to protect a girl he’d once considered family, or is there more brewing under the surface? Could he fall in love with the woman he’d always thought would be his sister-in-law? When Eric steps back into the picture, things get even more complicated. Will Alyssa and Cameron forge a bond that can’t be broken in the turmoil, or will family loyalties and the echoes of a tragic past tear them apart?
