Jax enlisted to protect my future. But I never escaped my past.

After seven years of silence, Jaxon Kane barrels back into my life like he never left. He's a hot, confident, fearless soldier, bearing new scars on top of old hurts. Jax isn't the same man I fell for in high school. But I've changed too.

Now that our paths have crossed again, I can't avoid him or dodge his questions. The harder he pushes to understand me, the more I resist.

Too broken for second chances, I know better than to let him in. If he learns why I never left Georgia, will he forgive himself?

If he discovers my secret, will he forgive me?
