When grief and desire collide, love becomes the most dangerous truth of all.
Jason Olander’s life is shattered by the sudden death of his younger brother, Derek. Anger and grief twist together, and all his focus falls on the one person he believes holds the answers—Sarah Pratt, the woman who survived the accident. Convinced she played a part in Derek’s reckless death, Jason is determined to uncover her secrets and hold her accountable.
Sarah was only trying to help Derek, but now she finds herself under Jason’s roof, facing the man whose grief hides a storm of resentment—and an attraction she cannot ignore. Every stolen glance, every accidental touch, threatens to ignite a fire neither of them expected. For Jason, desire feels like betrayal; for Sarah, love feels forbidden.
Then Jason sees her in the arms of another man. Consumed by grief and rage, he convinces himself she is not only the woman who caused his brother’s death but also the serial betrayer he original thought she was. Blinded by anger, he lashes out with cruel words, calling her loyalty and character into question, and sends her away—leaving both their hearts shattered.
But when the truth finally comes to light, Jason must confront his assumptions and fight to reclaim the one woman who has ever truly captured his heart.
