Haddie Montgomery planned for one night only. Her sister's death left her broken, and she wanted nothing more than a temporary escape with the attractive Beckett Daniels. No complications, no future plans, just a brief distraction from her grief. But weeks later, she cannot forget their encounter. The memory of his touch lingers despite her efforts to push it away. Beckett refuses to let her disappear. He pursues her relentlessly, trying to convince her that she deserves happiness again. Haddie resists his advances at every turn. She has built walls around her heart and refuses to let anyone through them. When her ex-boyfriend returns, she sees the perfect opportunity to end whatever is growing between her and Beckett. She can use this complication to extinguish the feelings that threaten her carefully constructed defenses. But Beckett's persistence begins to crack her resolve, and Haddie must decide whether protecting herself is worth losing a connection that might not come again.
