For two lonely years, Mia Atwood clung to a loveless marriage, while her husband Ethan Kerrigan remained devoted to his first love, Elise Harrington. When Elise suddenly returns, Mia is framed by the two of them and pushed out of the marriage with nothing but heartbreak. Just when she hits rock bottom, powerful businessman Gavin Prescott storms into her life. He is bold, fiercely protective, and completely unafraid to show her how much she means to him. For the first time, Mia realizes she never had to beg for love. She could be someone’s first choice, someone’s greatest treasure, and the woman a powerful man would fight to protect. But as Gavin draws her out of the shadows and into a world of passion and devotion, Mia must decide whether she is ready to leave her painful past behind and risk believing in love again.
