Lily hasn’t always had it easily, but that never stops her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maime where she grew up. She graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.

Ryle is assertive, stubborn, and maybe even a little arrogant. He is also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lili but Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing.

As questions about her new relationships overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan, her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.
