In childhood, Wylie Everett was her cherished best friend. In adulthood, he was the secret lover who left her without explanation. He walked away believing he could never be good enough for her. But he's never stopped regretting his decision. Now, helping her heal is the only way he can make amends, and hopefully make up for lost time. As he renews her joy in small things, and challenges her to take a fresh perspective, the desire they once shared burns more fiercely than ever—and proves anything but safe. Can he and Cass find one last way to move forward, and risk rebuilding their lives…together?
