The fourth story in the New York Times bestselling REAL series follows the unexpected passion one vivacious young woman feels for a quiet loner trying to heal from his past.

While her best friend Brooke found her perfect love with Remington Tate in Real, the spontaneous, talkative Melanie has only had many sexy dalliances with one easy-going man after another. So, when she finally meets the love of her life, she is beyond excited. Until she realizes she might be wrong.

Once Melanie starts spending nights over at her new guy’s place and meets his younger brother, Liam, she’s determined to bring some joy and happiness into the scarred recluse’s life. And, for a man she could have never imagined herself loving, she’s stunned—and moved by—all of his efforts to convince her that the one she’s been waiting for all her life is him.
