At one time, Dominic Evans was my everything.

That was before everything fell apart.

My parents had warned me he wasn’t the right kind of man for me and Dom proved them right.

Now seventeen years later, I’m returning home.

Running from my own mistakes in the form of an abusive, cheating fiancé.

With my trail of bad luck, my car breaks down and Dom is the one who comes to my rescue.

I hate having to rely on him, but I don’t have much of a choice.

Next thing I know Dominic sets up a work space for me in his garage; and finds me a job.

Being with Dom is as easy as it used to be and before I know it, we’re friends.

One fake date later and all the chemistry and affection that we used to have roars to life.

I know I need to keep my guard up. He broke my heart once and he’ll do it again.

But what if this whole time he’s been protecting me?
