Can I really escape hell to find all I've ever longed for?

Bodhi

Finding yourself is hard. Finding someone you can truly trust is harder.

I've never known what it was like to have a true home or family, let alone real love.

After almost a year of planning, I finally escaped my abusive ex and ran as far away as I could with just the clothes on my back and a handful of cash. When I arrive in the quaint town of Hope's Ridge, I'm ready to start over and reclaim my life.

When I painfully crash into Atticus's life, something about him puts me at ease. I've never been one to trust, but now I'm in a situation where I have no choice. He might be what I've been longing for my whole life.

Atticus

I love my tight-knit town, my big Greek family, and the life I've built. I have a successful garage with my brothers and love my job. I have it good, but every now and then I long for a connection. Someone to chase away the loneliness that's been creeping in. As my brothers like to point out, I'm set in my ways and not one for flings, bar hopping, or one-night stands.

When a beautiful man stumbles into my life, I'm blown away. He's skittish and afraid, but all I want to do is take care of him.

When Bodhi's ex starts making threats, danger gets ever closer and threatens everything I hold dear. Can I keep Bodhi safe and prove to him he's worthy of love? Or will he run and take my heart with him?
