She was the sunshine to his dark and grumpy. A reason to live. The holder of a secret that could bring him to his knees. And the woman he'd risk everything to save.



Liam Strong thought he'd lost everything when he was discharged from the Navy. Until she walked into his life as his new employee and proved that losing his career as a trauma surgeon meant a chance to start over.



Sophia Parker, MD, was exactly what Liam thought he didn't need. His focus was starting a new clinic and returning to fire fighting alongside his brothers.



Sophia's life was barely manageable. As a single parent to an adopted son, and new doctor, she was scrambling to get her medical career going. The small town of Eden, Utah, looked like the perfect place to start creating the stability she craved.



Only she didn't count on running smack into a wall of muscle with a mile wide attitude. One that made her see red—but just as often made her toes curl.



Until a web of secrets and misunderstanding shook her dreams. But their painful pasts might not be the thing that steals their future. Liam gets one chance to save her from a deadly disaster and win their chance at forever love.



Contains mature themes.
