Piper Easton and Simon Brooks are two souls torn apart by one tragic event. When fate reunites them, they have to make a choice: confront the shadows of their tumultuous past for the chance at true happiness, or let their sweet obsession become a bittersweet memory.
Piper seeks refuge in Sweetbriar to escape a life tainted by betrayal and abuse. Instead, she comes face-to-face with the only man to hold her heart before he shattered it twelve years ago. Now, the man Simon has become draws Piper in, and his commanding presence awakens conflicting desires within-guard her heart, or submit to him.
Simon regrets ever pushing Piper away, and he will move heaven and earth to prove his love. But in order for Piper to trust him, he has to earn her forgiveness-and to do that, he must first break down the walls meant to keep him at a safe distance.
As the spark of their young romance reignites, old wounds heal and reveal a bond that time and tragedy could never truly break-a bond that will be put to the test by the storm threatening to destroy their second chance at love before it truly begins.
