Lucille Collins seeks a fresh start on a road trip, putting as many miles as she can between her and the past. Since receiving news that has left her shattered and incomplete, solitude has been her only companion. But when Everett Reed intervenes on her behalf during an attack, their paths collide. He insists on coming with her to keep her safe and to escape his own past that haunts him.

For him to join her, Lucy insists on one rule: nothing personal. Yet, as events lead them back to her hometown, two things become clear. Their attraction to each other is undeniable and Everett has the power to help her remold those shattered pieces of her life.

The more time they spend together, she faces a choice‒‒share her vulnerabilities or protect the remaining pieces of her heart. Will trust overcome her fears or will the past ultimately tear them apart?
