Gabe Hyde lives under a false name, concealing his real identity from a world that once worshipped him. Four years ago, one terrible decision destroyed his former life and forced him into hiding. Now he volunteers at a group home, trying to blend into obscurity. Saylor works at the same facility and despises everything about Gabe. She sees him as reckless and privileged, someone who coasts through life without consequences. Yet she finds herself inexplicably drawn to him, a attraction that infuriates her. Their first meeting left her speechless for weeks. As they spend more time together, Saylor realizes Gabe is not who he claims to be. He carries a massive secret that grows harder to contain. The truth threatens not only his carefully constructed new life but also the safety of those he has learned to love. Gabe faces an impossible choice between maintaining his protective lies and seeking the redemption that has eluded him for years.
