Chase Grayson lives by simple rules. Keep relationships short. Never get attached. Walk away before anyone gets hurt. Then Harper walks into his life with gray eyes and an innocence that stops him cold. She makes it clear she wants nothing to do with him, but that only draws him deeper. Chase knows Harper deserves better than what he can offer. She needs someone who will protect her dreams, not destroy them. So he tries to keep his distance, even as she falls for the man he considers a brother. But watching Harper with someone else becomes unbearable. Chase will do whatever it takes to win her, even if it means breaking his own rules. When Harper must choose between two men, Chase faces an impossible decision. He can fight for the woman who has become his entire world, or he can step aside for her happiness. Either choice will leave someone broken.
