About the Book:
Getting close to people isn’t an option for Kory Brooks anymore—after a lifetime of being left behind, she’s chosen guarded walls and fierce independence instead of risk. Dominic Rissi understands her better than anyone; abandoned by his own family, but he’s never been able to forget Kory—the woman timing never seemed to let him have. When work forces them onto a cross-state road trip, Kory sets strict rules to keep her heart safe—but sparks and Dom’s quiet persistence threaten to break them all. An unexpected tragedy shatters their defenses, forcing them to choose between self-protection and the possibility that together, they might finally find healing, hope, and closure.
