She thought she had left Maxon Chambers behind forever. Thirteen years ago, he claimed her heart, her virginity, and her ability to think straight. When he ended things, she fled Broadshire Rim and vowed never to come back. Now she stands in her hometown again, face to face with the man who destroyed her world. Maxon works as a detective for the Charleston police force. He risks his life daily to keep the city safe. The years have made him more attractive and more dangerous to her peace of mind. The way he looks at her now tells her everything has changed and nothing has changed. Her heart remains vulnerable to him.
