For three years, Jasmine built her life around Adrian, pushing herself from a failing student to an academic standout while he kept her close only to discourage everyone else. When her birthday ended with an untouched cake and proof that he had chosen another girl for the night, she walked away without a word and disappeared for five years. She returns as a celebrated young forensic psychologist and encounters Adrian at a global conference. After he shields her from a blast and loses his vision, he begins offering the devotion she once begged for. But Jasmine has found her own strength, and a man who values her from the start. Adrian can only face the painful truth that his chance is gone.
