Livy Brown yearns for no more than her child to become well and the acceptance of her family. A chance encounter at her sister's wedding surely isn't the stepping stone her life needs to plummet into. Besides, one failed marriage under her belt has proved to be enough of a blow to her self-esteem, and one that she still can't escape from. Still yet, the eyes that hold hers will literally fill her dreams soon enough. Ethan Steiner can be summed up in one word by most...jerk. Never accustomed to taking no for an answer, he's certainly not going to start with Livy. From the second he sees her, he knows that he must make her his. He's had enough robbed from his life, to know that this is the one thing that he's unyielding on. True to his family to a fault, he wants nothing more than her to be in it. His secret past could destroy them both. Livy demands answers that Ethan's unwilling to give, but rightfully so. He lives in constant fear that she'll leave. Every breakthrough would be for nothing without her. Livy must learn to shove her doubts aside to save the man she loves...the only man she's ever loved.
