Dr. Melia Rose and ex-Marine Johnny Hunt had it all. Until one night in Atlantic City changed everything. She's left shocked, confused, and alone, unable to come to terms with what happened.



Hell, she doesn't even know what happened; she just knows her life has taken a one-eighty.



Now, Melia's started over—again—in her secluded, boring life in the swamps of Florida. The people are great, she has a housekeeper who may or may not be Bette Davis reincarnated, and it's quiet. But when her ex-husband shows up, dropping a bomb of epic proportions, her new life is a whole lot more dangerous than she could have ever imagined.



There's nothing Johnny wants more than to undo the damage from the past. The secrets he's been carrying have been eating away at him, but protecting Melia was more important than anything else. Even his own life. He managed to save her last time, but the danger is close—too close. In order to save her once more from his demons, Johnny will have to come clean . . . about everything.
