Their chemistry and passion burn as strong as ever, but will resentments and misunderstandings spoil their second chance at discovering what was . . . meant to be?



Charming and sexy, detective Mitch McKenna lets women into his bed—not into his heart. When his first love left him in a lurch, crushing his soul, Mitch swore off relationships and love. After all, any woman who chooses what her parents want over what she wants is not worth fighting for.



Or is she?



Successful New York doctor, Sydney Preston left the only man she ever loved to follow the path that her parents paved for her. When a tragic incident at the hospital threatens her life, Sydney moves to Virginia to rekindle the spark with her ex-fiancé. However, Mitch isn't interested in reigniting the flame that fizzled out long ago.



But Sydney hasn't come alone. When another incident threatens Sydney in Virginia, Mitch doesn't hesitate to protect her from the danger that follows her. In close proximity, they grow close again.



But can they work through their resentments and misunderstandings and find their love again before it's too late?
