I've never been able to share the dark parts of myself. Never had someone who asked to see them.

Lily Adams ran away and never looked back. She got herself clean and lives a sober life, working hard to give her son a good home in a place where they'll be safe. It's been years since she left Sugarlake, and the last thing she'd expect is her brother sending someone to find her.

Mason Wells is the best private investigator in Tennessee. Tasked with the mission of hunting down Lily Adams, he knows he's the perfect man for the job. At least he thought he was, until he actually finds her.

Immediately, Mason feels a pull. Before he can stop himself, he's inserted himself into her life, fake name and all, and even though he tells himself it's temporary, every day he spends with Lily, the weight of his secrets push down on him more.

When Mason's past catches up to him, he knows he'll do anything to make sure Lily and her son are safe - even if it means breaking both their hearts and losing them for good.
